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 is the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Determining molecular and histopathologic tumor features, which may contribute to the development or progression of gastric cancer, can improve the prognosis. Expression patterns of DNA repair proteins such as MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 that are associated with microsatellite instability (MSI) are some of the markers that are useful in predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer. PURPOSE: The purpose was to determine the immunohistochemical expression pattern of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 in tumor specimens of Iranian gastric carcinoma patients.

methodsIn this prospective cohort, 186 consecutive patients with gastric cancer, attending Taleghani Hospital, were enrolled. The immunohistochemical expression patterns of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 in tumor specimens among them were determined.

resultsThe results of this study demonstrated that 91.4% of our gastric cancer patients were negative for MSI, and 8.6% of them were MSI positive. The positive MSI was seen in 5.9% and 15.7% of male and female subjects, respectively, with a significant difference (P = 0.043). The other variables were not related to MSI results (P > 0.05).

conclusionAccording to the obtained results, the expression of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 in tumor specimens is positive in 8.6% of the total Iranian gastric cancer sample size, which is mainly positive in female subjects. However, it is not related to the location and stage of the tumor.
