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

introductionGastric cancer is considered to be the fourth most common malignancy worldwide and the second cause of cancer deaths. Regarding the cancer stem cells (CSCs) theory, they are a small group of tumor cells with unrestricted self-renewal and differentiation abilities that help tumor formation. There is an interest in the utility of CD133 as a promising marker to detect the tumor stem cell population for a variety of solid malignancies including gastric cancer. Tumors that express stem cell markers such as CD133 are found to be more aggressive tumors with poor prognosis and high liability for recurrence. This study aimed to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of CD133 in invasive gastric carcinoma and study the relation between CD133 immunohistochemical expression and different clinicopathological parameters. MATERIAL AND

methods77 cases of gastric carcinoma were collected from the surgical pathology unit at the Gastroenterology Center, Mansoura University, Egypt. CD133 expression in tumor tissue was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.

resultsCD133 expression positively correlated with tumor metastasis and recurrence. Multivariate analysis revealed CD133 positivity to be an independent prognostic factor for tumor recurrence (P = 0.03).

conclusionCD133 is a good marker that can predict tumor recurrence and metastasis in gastric carcinoma. Even though, studies regarding CSCs are still in their initial stages especially those related to CD133 in gastric cancer.
