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

backgroundHighly expressed in the gastrointestinal mucosa, huntingtin-associated protein 1 (HAP1) is closely associated with tumor development and prognosis.

aimTo investigate the clinical utility of HAP1 expression in gastric cancer (GC).

methodsWe randomly selected 124 GC patients had not undergone preoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy, they were diagnosed at the Central Hospital of Wuhan between May 2013 and October 2018. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect HAP1 expression in paraffin-embedded GC tissues, as well as metastatic lymph nodes. Their clinical data were collected and all participants were follow up for 5 years. Western blotting and quantitative polymerase chain reaction were used to detect HAP1 levels in 20 matched pairs of fresh GC tissues.

resultsHAP1 protein and mRNA levels were lower in fresh GC tissues than in normal mucosal tissues (

conclusionHAP1 is an important prognostic biomarker for GC, with low HAP1 expression positively correlating with poor overall survival, especially in advanced clinical stages.
