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 death after liver transplantation (LT) was most commonly caused by HCC recurrence. Golgi protein 73 (GP73), a type II Golgi membrane protein, has been proved to be a better serum marker for HCC.

objectiveThis study aims to clarify the relationship between serum GP73 levels and tumor recurrence as well as survival of HCC patients after LT.

methodsBetween November 2003 and July 2008, serum samples from 60 liver transplantation patients and 72 healthy individuals were collected. ELISA and microparticle enzyme immunoassay were used to measure serum GP73 and AFP levels. Patient survival was analyzed using log-rank test along with Kaplan-Meier method. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to analyze the diagnostic value of serum GP73 levels. Cox regression was utilized to analyze prognostic factors with multiple variables.

resultsSerum GP73 concentrations in HCC patients were much higher than that in healthy controls (P<0.001). Patients with lower serum GP73 levels at LT-6Month had better overall survival and recurrence-free survival than those with higher serum GP73 levels. ROC analyzing results showed that higher serum GP73 levels at 6 month post-LT could significantly predict mortality (P=0.020) as well as HCC recurrence (P=0.001) after liver transplantation. Multivariate analysis revealed that serum GP73 levels at LT-6Month was an independent predictor of good prognosis (P=0.002).

conclusionSerum GP73 levels could be used to predict tumor recurrence and survival in HCC sufferers after LT.
