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

Radiotherapy is one of the main adjuvant treatments for gastric cancer (GC) that can effectively reduce local recurrence and improve survival rates. However, radiotherapy may result in cytotoxicity and not benefit all patients. This highlights the requirement for identifying potential radiosensitivity genes in GC. The current study investigated the association between tripartite motif containing 36 (TRIM36) status and the prognosis of patients with GC receiving radiotherapy. A total of 371 patients with GC were selected from The Cancer Genome Atlas and randomly divided into test and the validation groups. The results revealed that TRIM36 expression was not associated with the overall survival (OS) rate. Patients who received radiotherapy with high TRIM36 expression had an improved OS rate compared with patients who did not receive radiotherapy in the test group, as demonstrated by univariate analysis [hazard ratio (HR), 0.062; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.008-0.462; P=0.007] and multivariate analysis (HR, 0.095; 95% CI, 0.012-0.748; P=0.025). In the validation group, patients with high TRIM36 expression had decreased mortality risk when they received radiotherapy compared with patients who did not receive radiotherapy, as determined by univariate analysis (HR, 0.190; 95% CI, 0.067-0.540; P=0.002) and multivariate analysis (HR, 0.075; 95% CI, 0.020-0.276; P<0.001). However, for patients with low expression, no significant difference was identified in the overall survival rates between the radiotherapy and non-radiotherapy groups. Chi-squared analysis revealed that the expression status of TRIM36 was an independent factor and was not associated with clinicopathological factors. The results indicated that patients with high TRIM36 expression receiving radiotherapy exhibited an improved OS rate. TRIM36 may therefore be an important factor affecting the clinical prognosis of patients with GC receiving radiotherapy and may be considered as a potential radiosensitivity gene signature.
