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

backgroundThe study of tumor markers (TM) in pleural effusion (PE) was not extensive.

methodsTM in PE and serum were analyzed to determine whether TM was expressed in intrathoracic and extrathoracic tissues. To further verify the correlations between serum TM and tumor size, TNM stage of lung adenocarcinoma.

resultsSerum AFP was not correlated with tumor size, T stage, N stage, and M stage (P > .05). Serum CEA, serum CA125, serum CA15-3 were positively correlated with tumor size, T stage, N stage, M stage (P < .05). Serum CA19-9 was not significantly correlated with tumor size and T stage (P > .05), but was positively correlated with N stage and M stage (P < .05). The levels of PE CEA, PE CA125, PE CA15-3 were higher than those of serum CEA, serum CA125, serum CA15-3 (all P < .05). The level of PE AFP was lower than that of serum AFP (P < .05). The level of PE CA19-9 was not significantly different from that of serum CA19-9 (P > .05). The positive rates of PE CEA and PE CA125 were higher than those of serum CEA and serum CA125 (P < .05). The positive rates of PE AFP, PE CA15-3, PE CA19-9 were not significantly different from those of serum AFP, serum CA15-3, serum CA19-9 (P > .05).PE CEA, PE CA125, PE CA15-3 were moderately positively correlated with serum CEA, serum CA125, serum CA15-3, respectively (r = 0.597; r = 0.46; r = 0.583, all P < .05). However, PE AFP and PE CA19-9 were very strongly positively correlated with serum AFP and serum CA19-9, respectively (r = 0.888; r = 0.874, all P < .05).

conclusionThe expression characteristics of TM in PE and serum supported the correlations between serum TM and tumor size, TNM stage of lung adenocarcinoma.
