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

Immune molecules, which have been found to be important in tumor microenvironment, seem prospective in tumor therapy, but they are still not effective enough to use in clinical practice. C-C motif chemokine 22 (CCL22) exists in various malignancies and correlates with migration of regulatory T cells, but its clinical significance in gastric cancer is still unclear. In this study, a combined data set of 466 patients with gastric cancer after surgical resection, comprised of a discovery (n = 319) and a validation data set (n = 147), was enrolled. CCL22 expression was assessed by immunohistochemical staining and we evaluated prognostic values of CCL22 staining and clinical outcomes with use of Kaplan-Meier curve and Multivariate Cox regression analysis. Positive CCL22 expression predicted adverse overall survival independent of traditional pathological grade. Multivariate analysis defined CCL22 and TNM stage as two independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Besides, in patients with TNM stage II/III disease, the rate of overall survival was higher among patients with CCL22-positive tumors who were treated with 5-fluorouracil based adjuvant chemotherapy than that among those who were not (
