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

Objective: A systematic evaluation of the diagnostic value of Ring finger protein 180 (RNF180) gene methylation as a novel tumor marker for gastric cancer (GC) is required to improve the early diagnosis of gastric cancer patients. Methods: Computer searches of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data, National Research Register, Cclinical Controlled Trials, Opengrey and VIP databases were conducted from the database's inception to September 1, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted information, and assessed the risk of bias in studies that were included. The meta-analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 16.0 software. Results: A total of 9 studies with a total of 1531 subjects were included. A random-effects meta-analysis revealed that the combined sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of plasma RNF180 gene methylation for the diagnosis of GC were: 0.54 [95% CI (0.45, 0.62)], 0.80 [95% CI (0.72, 0.87)], 2.73 [95% CI (2.09, 3.57)], 0.58 [95% CI (0.51, 0.65)], 4.74 [95% CI (3.59, 6.62)], respectively. Conclusion: The detection of RNF180 gene methylation in plasma has a high diagnostic value for GC and is expected to be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of gastric cancer, according to current evidence.
