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

backgroundSerum antibody for

objectiveOur study examined the prevalence of serum IgG antibodies for OV-positive CCA cases and determined whether there were correlations of IgG antibodies with histopathologic features, HER2, PD-L1, and FGFR2 expression, as well as their roles on the patients' survival.

methodsThe study involved 221 CCA surgical patients at Khon Kaen University Hospital, Thailand, from 2005 to 2017. Serum specimens were tested for OV IgG by ELISA. CCA tissue microarrays were used to examined for HER2, PD-L1, and FGFR2 expression. Logistic regression was used to investigate an association between factors and IgG. Cox regression was used to determine factors that affected CCA patient survival.

resultsIgG for OV were positive in 162 cases, and the prevalence was 73.3% (95% CI=68.0-78.7). About three quarters (78.3%) had large duct type tumors and concomitant intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile ducts (IPNB) occurred in 92 (50%) cases. HER2 expression was positive in 94 (61.4%) cases. Positive PD-L1 and FGFR2 expression occurred in 125 (83.9%) and 100 (67.1%) cases. IgG for OV had no significant correlation to any histological feature but had significant correlation with HER2 overexpression with adjusted OR=2.32 (95% CI=1.09-4.96,

conclusionWe found a high prevalence of serum IgG for OV-positive CCA patients and a correlation with overexpression of HER2. Moreover, IgG for OV and HER2 expression indicated poor survival of CCA. Therefore, future clinical studies for anti-HER2 treatments should focus on OV-associated CCA.
