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

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading malignancies around the world. Identification of novel and efficient biomarkers for GC diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic efficiency could improve the therapeutic strategy in future clinical application. This study aims to evaluate the levels of plasma thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) activity in GC patients to confirm its validity and efficacy in GC diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic efficiency. 923 cases were enrolled in the current study. In the group of GC patients before clinical intervention, plasma TrxR activity [9.09 (7.96, 10.45) U/mL] was significantly higher than in healthy controls [3.69 (2.38, 5.32) U/mL]. The threshold of TrxR activity for GC diagnosis was set at 7.34 U/mL with a sensitivity of 85.5% and a specificity of 97.9%. In GC patients after chemotherapy, plasma TrxR activity was remarkably higher in patients with progressive disease or uncontrolled condition [10.07 (8.19, 11.02) U/mL] compared with patients with complete or partial response [7.12 (6.08, 8.37) U/mL] in response to chemotherapy. TrxR activity displayed the higher efficiency to distinguish between GC patients with two distinct clinical outcomes than carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) and cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). Moreover, combination of TrxR, CEA, CA72-4 and CA19-9 was demonstrated to be more effective in both GC diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic efficiency than was each biomarker individually. Together, plasma TrxR activity was identified as a novel and efficient biomarker of GC, both in diagnosis and monitoring of therapeutic efficiency in response to chemotherapy.
