Expression of nm23-H1 in colorectal cancer: no association with metastases, histological stage, or survival.

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.
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 correlations of nm23-H1 expression in primary cancer lesions with the already confirmed 14 prognostic variables and survival were examined in 52 advanced colorectal cancer patients, because the clinical roles of nm23-H1 expression in the cancer lesions remain controversial. An immunohistochemical expression of nm23-H1 was found in 23 lesions (positive group) but not found in 29 lesions (negative group). No significant difference between the positive and negative groups was found according to 12 clinicopathological variables including vascular invasion, lymph node and liver metastases, and histological stage. The carcinoembryonic antigen levels (21.5+/-33.4 ng/ml) of the draining venous blood and argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions score (3.35+/-1.36 per nucleus) of the cancer cells in the positive group were not significantly diffeent from those (34.1+/-102.9 ng/ml and 3.32+/-1.00 per nucleus, respectively) in the negative group. In addition, no significant difference was found in the survival curves or the 5-year survival rates of the positive and negative groups. From these results, it may be concluded that the nm23-H1 expression was not associated with the aforementioned prognostic variables and the prognosis of advanced colorectal cancer patients.
