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

aimTo investigate the presence of genetic instability in precancerous lesions of the stomach.

methodsFifteen cases of sporadic gastric cancers with a background of intestinal metaplasia were studied by microsatellite assay at nine loci. Altered metaplastic mucosa was microdissected, reconstructed topographically, and examined immunohistochemically with an anti-p53 antibody, comparing its positive area with foci of microsatellite instability in each individual.

resultsAlterations at one or more loci were observed in seven of 15 cancers (46.7%) and four of 15 intestinal metaplasias (26.7%). Two cases of replication error positive phenotype had no microsatellite alterations in their metaplastic mucosa. All the microsatellite alterations in the metaplastic mucosa were restricted to incomplete-type intestinal metaplasia around the respective cancers. Moreover, in one case, an identical pattern of microsatellite alteration was detected in the cancer tissue and in the adjacent metaplastic mucosa, suggesting the sequential development of gastric cancer from intestinal metaplasia. Frequent alteration was found at the locus D1S191 (1q), indicating that this locus might be altered early in the development of intestinal-type gastric cancer. No significant association between microsatellite instability and p53 immunoreactivity was observed in the cases examined.

conclusionThese results indicate that microsatellite instability may be an early event in stomach carcinogenesis, especially in intestinal-type cancers.
