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

backgroundDefective mismatch repair (dMMR) and microsatellite instability (MSI) correlate with gastric cancer (GC) outcome. We hypothesized that MMR genetic polymorphisms that have low-penetrant effects but may cause heterogeneous MMR capability among individuals also affect GC outcome.

methodsThe polymorphisms rs1800734 in MLH1, rs2303428 and rs3732183 in MSH2, rs735943 in EXO1, and rs11797 in TREX1 were selected and analyzed in independent discovery and validation sets that included 167 and 593 patients, respectively. MSI was determined.

resultsIn both the discovery and validation sets, the rs2303428 TC + CC genotype correlated with poor overall survival (OS) in non-cardia (P < 0.05) but not in cardia GC. Multivariate models showed that for OS of patients with non-cardia GC, the rs2303428 TC + CC genotype was an independent predictor in the validation set (HR 1.54; 95% CI 1.02-2.32; P = 0.040) and had a trend to be an independent predictor in the discovery set (HR 1.70; 95% CI 0.96-3.01; P = 0.067). Furthermore, in both patient sets, fluoropyrimidines-based adjuvant chemotherapy improved OS for non-cardia patients with the rs2303428 TC + CC genotype (HR 0.14; 95% CI 0.04-0.57; P = 0.006; and HR 0.29; 95% CI 0.15-0.58; P < 0.001, respectively) but not for those with the TT genotype. The rs2303428 genotypes were not associated with MSI frequency. The rs2303428 TC + CC genotype correlated with reduced expressions for thymidylate synthetase, P-glycoprotein and ERCC1 (P < 0.05) in non-cardia GC.

conclusionsThe rs2303428 genotypes may predict prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapy benefit in non-cardia GC patients.
