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

backgroundEndonucleases play critical roles in maintaining genomic stability and regulating cell growth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate detection of endonuclease activity as an indicator in the early diagnosis and prognosis of lymphoma.

resultsThe method of endonuclease activity determination was successfully established and applied to compare cancer patient and control cohorts. Endonuclease activities of cancer tissues were significantly higher than those of adjacent control tissues (P < 0.001). We next investigated endonuclease activity in peripheral blood of enrolled patients and the controls, which were also significantly higher in patients than in controls (P = 0.015). Additionally, endonuclease activities were elevated in the metastasis subgroup compared with the non-metastasis subgroup(P = 0.038), whereas no significant difference was found between age(≤ 56y, > 56y) and gender (P = 0.736 > 0.05 and P = 0.635 > 0.05, respectively). Although there was no significant difference between control group with the non-metastatic cancer patients (P = 0.800 > 0.05), endonuclease activities were lower in the control group compared with the non-metastatic cancer patients with lymphoma (P = 0.033). The progression-free survival probability of patients with elevated R ratios(R ratio ≥ 1.4) was significantly lower than that of patients with lower R ratios (R ratio < 1.4).

conclusionsAn assay was established to detect the endonuclease activity,which might be useful for the prognosis of cancers, especially lymphoma.
