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

Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is the most pathological type of gastric cancer. ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 18 (ADAMTS18) plays an essential role in organ development and tumorigenesis; however, its function in STAD, and its impact on clinical outcome remain unclear. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the association between ADAMTS18 expression and the prognosis of patients with STAD. Data from 300 patients with STAD in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were analyzed, and the median survival time and overall survival (OS) rate of these patients were assessed. Subsequently, 40 paired tumor and non-tumor tissue samples from patients with STAD were collected, and the relative ADAMTS18 mRNA expression levels were determined. Results from TCGA database demonstrated that high tumor ADAMTS18 expression was associated with a poorer prognosis in patients with STAD. Similarly, results from the assessed patient cohort indicated that ADAMTS18 expression was significantly higher in STAD tissues compared with non-tumor tissues. Furthermore, ADAMTS18 expression was significantly associated with tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis and tumor node metastasis stage. Taken together, these results suggest that ADAMTS18 is highly expressed in STAD tissues, and thus may act as a potential indicator of poor prognosis in patients with STAD.
