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

backgroundPrevious studies have shown that D-dimer plays an essential role in the occurrence and development of various tumors, and its diagnostic value in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to explore the diagnostic value of D-dimer in distinguishing between gallbladder carcinoma and benign controls.

methodsWe retrospectively included age and gender-matched patients with gallbladder carcinoma and benign gallbladder lesions, and analyzed the diagnostic value of inflammatory markers, D-dimers, and tumor biomarkers by receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC).

resultsThe area under the ROC curve of white blood cells (WBC), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), D-dimer, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) were 0.600, 0.760, 0.729, 0.849, 0.502, 0.699, and 0.802, respectively. The combined diagnostic value of D-dimer and CA19-9 was 0.920, which was superior to other joint indicators.

conclusionSerum D-dimer may be considered as a potential biomarker for detection of GBC. Moreover, the combined diagnosis of D-dimer and CA19-9 has excellent diagnostic value in gallbladder carcinoma.
