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

The expression of mRNA for amphiregulin (AR), a novel gene of the epidermal growth factor family, was examined in 8 human gastric carcinoma cell lines and 32 gastric carcinoma tissues as well as corresponding normal mucosa. Of the 8 gastric carcinoma cell lines, 7 expressed 1.4 kb AR mRNA at various levels. The expression of AR mRNA by TMK-1 and MKN-28 cells was increased by treatment with epidermal growth factor or transforming growth factor a. In surgical cases, all the gastric carcinoma tissues and their adjacent normal mucosa expressed AR mRNA. Interestingly, 20 (62.5%) out of 32 tumors expressed AR mRNA at higher levels than their corresponding normal mucosas (tumor/normal > or = 1.2). No obvious correlation was observed between the AR mRNA levels and the histological types or tumor staging of gastric carcinoma. Immunohistochemically, AR protein was localized to the cytoplasm and/or nucleus in tumor cells. These results suggest that AR produced by tumor cells may be involved in the pathogenesis and/or progression of human gastric carcinoma.
