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

BACKGROUND AND

aimPeriostin is a protein from the Fascilin family. It is commonly present in normal tissues and is responsible for cell adhesion. Evidence has emerged showing that changes in periostin expression play an important role in tumor initiation, development, and progression. This study aims to investigate the effect of periostin in gastric cancer (GC) patients who underwent gastrectomy. Seven hundred and forty-seven GC patients who underwent gastrectomy between December 2006 and July 2011 were included in this study.

methodsSeven hundred and forty-seven cancer tissues and 70 paired adjacent normal tissues were collected. Periostin expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The Gene Expression Omnibus database was used to study the association between the mRNA level and patient's overall survival. The tumor microenvironment was also studied.

resultsPeriostin expression in stroma was downregulated in tumor tissues but it was upregulated in the epithelial cells. After dividing the tissues according to the Lauren Classification, we found that periostin expression in stroma and epithelial cells was higher in intestinal type than in diffuse type (

conclusionWe found that the periostin expression can predict LN metastasis in patients undergoing curative gastrectomy. Intestinal type GC patients with high periostin level had both a favorable survival and lesser LN metastasis.
