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

backgroundMidkine (MK) level has been shown to be elevated in serum of patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the diagnostic value of MK in pleural effusion in NSCLC has not been well validated and established.

methodsSamples of NSCLC-associated malignant pleural effusions (MPE) and benign effusions (BPE) were collected. The pleural fluid MK (pMK), pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (pADA), pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH), pleural fluid glucose (pGLU), pleural fluid ferritin (pFER), pleural fluid CA199 (pCA199), pleural fluid CA125 (pCA125), pleural effusion white cell count (pWBC), and pleural effusion red cell count (pRBC) were analyzed, and the clinical data of each group were collected for statistical analysis.

resultThe level of pMK, pCA125, pMK + pCA125, and pMK + pCA125 + pADA in the MPE was significantly higher than the BPE group (P = .003, .000, .000, .000). The pADA level in the BPE was significantly higher than the MPE group (P = .003). It showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) (0.816) of jointly detection pMK, pCA125, and pADA was significantly higher than other markers for the diagnosis of MPE. Therefore, joint detection of pMK + pCA125 + pADA suggested that the sensitivity, specificity, and AUC was 82.54%, 74.19% at the cutoff 0.47 and diagnostic performance was higher than others.

conclusionJoint detection of pMK + pCA125 + pADA can be used as a good indicator for the identification of MPE of NSCLC.
