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

The peritoneal surface is the most frequent site of metastasis disease in patients with gastric cancer. Even after curative surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, peritoneal recurrences often develop. Exosomes play pivotal roles in tumor metastasis via the transfer of microRNAs (miRNAs). In the present study, exosomes were isolated from peritoneal lavage fluid or ascites in 85 patients with gastric cancer and the relative expression levels of miR‑29s were examined. The expression of miR‑29a‑3p, miR‑29b‑3p and miR‑29c‑3p in peritoneal exosomes were all downregulated in patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) compared to those without PM. In 30 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with serosa‑involved (T4) gastric cancer, 6 patients exhibited recurrence in the peritoneum within 12 months. The expression levels of miR‑29s at gastrectomy tended to be lower in these 6 patients than in the other 24 patients with significant differences in miR‑29b‑3p (P=0.003). When the patients were divided into two groups based on median levels of miR‑29s, peritoneal recurrence developed more frequently in patients with low expression of miR‑29b‑3p, and lower expression of miR‑29s were related with worse overall survival. miR‑29s are thought to play a suppressive role in the growth of disseminated peritoneal tumor cells. Reduced expression of miR‑29b in peritoneal exosomes is a strong risk factor of developing postoperative peritoneal recurrence.
