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

aimsTo clarify claudin18.2 expression and its clinicopathological features in various cancers, especially in lung adenocarcinoma.

methodsImmunohistochemistry staining and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) were performed to detect claudin18.2 expression and

resultsThe results showed that claudin18.2 expression was found in 68% (27 of 40) of lung mucinous adenocarcinoma, 52% (16 of 31) of cholangiocarcinoma, 2% (10 of 423) of colorectal adenocarcinoma tissue microarray, 27% (6 of 22) of colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma and 30% (3 of 10) of cervical adenocarcinoma, but not in all 39 cases of invasive breast adenocarcinoma by immunohistochemistry staining. There was significantly positive correlation between ratio of claudin18.2-positive carcinoma cells and staining intensity in lung mucinous adenocarcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. Claudin18.2 expression was much more in female patients than male patients with lung mucinous adenocarcinoma. In addition, cholangiocarcinoma with claudin18.2 expression was more aggressive and had perineural invasion. Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct and epithelial dysplasia of the adjacent bile in cholangiocarcinoma also showed claudin18.2 expression. All three cases of cervical adenocarcinoma with claudin18.2 expression were moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma including one human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated carcinoma, two non-HPV-associated and gastric-type carcinoma.

conclusionsOur results suggest claudin18.2 might be a potential biomarker for targeted therapy on lung mucinous adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma and gastric-type cervical adenocarcinoma.
