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

backgroundThe signaling adapter protein CrkL plays vital roles in multiple cancers. However, the expression pattern of CrkL protein and its clinical significance have not been well characterized in human gastric cancer (GC) so far.

objectiveTo investigate the association of tissue-based CrkL protein expression level with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of GC patients.

methodsThe expression level of CrkL protein in 380 GC patients was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The associations of CrkL protein expression level with clinicopathologicalal characteristics and clinical outcome were evaluated.

resultsCompared with the matched adjacent non-tumor tissues, CrkL protein expression level was significantly up-regulated in tumor tissues. In addition, there was a positive correlation between CrkL and Ki67 expression levels in GC patients. An elevated CrkL level statistically correlated with aggressive clinicopathologicalal characteristics, such as larger tumor size, deeper local invasion, more lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, and poorer prognosis. Notably, multivariate analysis identified tissue-based CrkL level as an independent predictor for the unfavorable prognosis of GC.

conclusionsThese results indicate that CrkL protein may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker in GC.
