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

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) has an important clinical role in various cancers. However, the prognostic impact of HER-2 in gastric cancer (GC) is controversial. RAB1A is an important small molecule in the mechanistic target of rapamycin signalling pathway, which is one of the downstream signalling pathways of the epidermal growth factor receptor family. In recent years, the aberrant expression of RAB1A has been reported in a number of tumours, but its regulation in GC has not been extensively examined. Therefore, the present study investigated the expression pattern and prognostic significance of HER-2 and RAB1A in gastric adenocarcinoma (CAG). A comprehensive analysis was performed to examine the expression level of HER-2 and RAB1A in 280 cases of paired paraffin-embedded GAC tissues and an additional 120 archived GAC tissue samples. HER-2 and RAB1A protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry and cases with a 2+ score for HER-2 expression levels were subjected to fluorescence
