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

backgroundGastric cancer (GC) is the third most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. In the present study, we aimed to identify novel GC biomarkers by integrating isobaric tags of relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) for aberrantly expressed proteins in GC patients.

methodsUsing stable isotope tags, we labeled an initial discovery group comprising four paired gastric cancer and adjacent gastric tissue samples, and subjected them to LC-ESI-MS/MS. We used a validation set comprising 129 paired gastric cancer and adjacent gastric tissues from patients and benign healthy controls to validate the candidate targets.

resultsWe identified two proteins, NAD(P)-dependent steroid dehydrogenase-like (NSDHL) and neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase 1 (NCEH1), that were significantly overexpressed in GC tissues. The sensitivity and specificity of NSDHL were 80.6% and 74.4%, respectively, in GC compared with a sensitivity of 25.6% in adjacent tissues and 24% in benign healthy controls. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for NSDHL was 0.810 for GC detection. Overexpression of NSDHL in GC was significantly correlated with local tumor invasion. The sensitivity and specificity of NCEH1 were 77.5% and 73.6%, respectively, in GC compared with a sensitivity of 26.4% in adjacent tissues and 20% in benign controls. The AUC for NSDHL was 0.792. Overexpression of NCEH1 was significantly associated with tumor histological classification and local invasion. Moreover, a combined analysis of NSDHL and NCEH1 achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 85.7% and 83%, respectively, and the AUC was 0.872. The combined analysis of NSDHL and NCEH1 was significantly correlated with histological grade and TNM Ⅱ-Ⅳ staging.

conclusionsiTRAQ-labeled quantitative proteomics represents a powerful method to identify novel cancer biomarkers. The present study identified NSDHL and NCEH1 as useful biomarkers for screening, diagnosis, and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.
