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

backgroundImmunohistochemical (IHC) staining for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins is useful for gastric cancer treatment and prognosis. Different IHC staining patterns reflect the complex biological phenomena underlying MMR deficiency. We herein report a rare IHC staining pattern of four MMR-related proteins in gastric cancer. CASE SUMMARY: A "null" IHC staining pattern of four MMR-related proteins, including MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6, in a 67-year-old male patient with gastric cancer pT3N3aM0 revealed promoter hypermethylation of

conclusionAbnormal MMR protein expression, helpful for individualized follow-up care, helped identify a sporadic case lacking familial clinical management implications.
