Increased ski expression levels are associated with a higher risk and poor prognosis in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

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.
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
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most commonly diagnosed primary mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and 30% of GISTs are associated with a high recurrence risk or metastasis. The current risk classification criteria of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network are based on tumor size, mitotic activity and localization. Investigating additional biomarkers associated with clinical risk may aid in the diagnosis of GIST and improves prediction of patient prognosis. In the present study, the value of using the expression levels of the oncoprotein ski as a prognostic predictor for GISTs was investigated. The results demonstrated that high ski expression levels were correlated with high risk and recurrence rates and indicated poor prognosis regarding median disease-free survival. Overall, the present study suggests that ski expression levels may serve as a predictor for clinical risk and prognosis of patients with GISTs.
