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

introductionTartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (ACP5) plays crucial roles in multiple pathological processes, including the genesis and progression of malignant tumors. We performed this study with the purpose of determining whether ACP5 is a crucial biomarker significantly related to prognoses of gastric cancer (GC) patients.

methodsThe expression level of ACP5 level was assessed among 170 GC specimens using immunohistochemistry. The associations between ACP5 expression and clinicopathological variables were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to confirm independent prognostic factors for GC patients.

resultsIt was revealed that ACP5 expression level in GC tissue was significantly associated with depth of invasion (p = 0.029) and TNM stage (p = 0.036). ACP5 was demonstrated by multivariate Cox regression analysis to be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) (p = 0.001) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (p = 0.011) of GC patients.

conclusionsThe expression of ACP5 in GC tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissues, and its overexpression was associated with a poorer prognosis, suggesting its potential roles in preventing and treating GC.
