1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo explore the cause of functional changes of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in development of gastric cancer through the structural changes of each site in TNF-α before and after mutation.

methodsThree typical mutant sites (TNF-α-308G/A, 857C/T and 863C/A of TNF-α) were chosen and methods like ab initio modeling was adopted for 3D modeling of TNF-α before and after mutation, besides, the structural changes were also analyzed.

resultsMutation of TNF-α-308G/A led to the production of multiple helical structures and that of 863C/A caused the production of one helical structure in its adjacent region. Mutation of 857C/T, however, did not cause the change in the basic structure of TNF-α.

conclusionsStructural changes of TNF-α may have a significant effect on development of gastric cancer.
