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

The aim of the present study was to evaluate ephrin type-A receptor 5 (EphA5) expression and its clinicopathological significance in gastric cancer. Gastric cancer tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The association between EphA5 expression and clinicopathological parameters, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status and Ki-67 proliferation index was statistically analyzed. EphA5 expression was detected in all non-tumor gastric epithelia but was differentially expressed among gastric cancer samples. EphA5 was negatively expressed in 30/110 (27.3%) and positively expressed in 80/110 (72.3%) samples from patients with gastric cancer. EphA5 expression was significantly associated with Lauren classification (P=0.032), lymph node metastasis (P<0.001), HER2 expression (P=0.020) and Ki-67 expression (P=0.005). No significant association was determined between EphA5 expression and age, sex, primary location, depth of invasion and Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage. The present data indicated that EphA5 is differentially expressed in gastric cancer. EphA5 may therefore be a potential therapeutic target and may have clinical utility as a marker for lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer.
