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

Predictive value of serum interleukin 10 (IL-10) and interleukin 18 (IL-18) expression in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) was investigated. This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 146 patients with CRC admitted to the Binzhou Medical University Hospital as the study group, and collected the physical examination data of 82 volunteers as the control group. The expression levels of IL-10 and IL-18 in the serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A 60-month follow-up on patients in the study group was performed to make records of their prognosis. The expressions of IL-10 and IL-18 were statistically different in patients with different Dukes stages, tumor sizes, histological grades, and different situations of distant metastasis of cancer cells (P<0.05); with a gradual downward trend following the operation. The expression levels of serum IL-10 and IL-18 in the study group 7 days after the operation were lower than the levels before the operation (P<0.05), and the expression levels of IL-10 and IL-18 of patients in the study group on the day of discharge were lower than the expression levels 7 days after the operation (P<0.05). The expressions of IL-10 and IL-18 of patients with reoccurred CRC after the operation were significantly higher than that of patients without recurrence of CRC in the study group (P<0.05). Thus, IL-10 and IL-18 are highly expressed in the serum of CRC patients, which makes IL-10 and IL-18 useful to serve as indicators to determine the prognosis of CRC patients. The lower the expression levels of IL-10 and IL-18, the lower the cancer recurrence rate, the better the prognosis and the longer the survival time.
