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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to analyze the levels of tumor-associated autoantibodies (TAAbs) in lung diseases and determine their diagnostic efficiency in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the levels of 7-TAAbs in 177 newly diagnosed early-stage NSCLC patients, 202 patients with lung benign diseases and 137 healthy cases. The levels of a panel of 7-TAAbs, including p53, GAGE7, PGP9.5, CAGE, MAGE A1, SOX2, GBU4-5, were measured by ELISA.

resultsThe serum levels of p53, GAGE7, PGP9.5, CAGE, MAGE A1, SOX2, and GBU4-5 were not statistically different among NSCLC, benign and healthy groups (p > 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of 7-TAAbs was all lower than 0.70. The sensitivity of combined detection was the highest (23.73%), while the specificity was the lowest (88.79%). The positive rates of PGP9.5, SOX2, and combined detection were significantly different among the three groups (p < 0.05). Among them, PGP9.5 and combined detection were significantly different between the NSCLC and benign groups (p < 0.05), PGP9.5, SOX2 and combined detection were significantly different between the NSCLC and healthy groups (p < 0.05).

conclusionsThe diagnostic efficiency of 7-TAAbs in early-stage NSCLC was not high, so it cannot be used alone as a screening method for NSCLC.
