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

Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) is involved in the degradation of interstitial collagen and thus thought to play a role in invasion of carcinoma. We investigated 51 oesophageal carcinoma patients to clarify the significance of MMP-1. MMP-1 mRNA was demonstrated to be expressed exclusively in almost all carcinoma tissue specimens (T) (94.1%) by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, but not found in normal mucosal tissue specimens (N). The mean T/N ratio of MMP-1 was 42.5 and cases with T/N > or = 10 had a higher incidence of cases involving muscularis propria than those with T/N < 10 which included all the cases involving the submucosa (P< 0.05). MMP-1 mRNA was significantly associated with both 40 kD (putative active MMP-1) and 50 kD (putative latent MMP-1) gelatinolytic bands (n = 17). These findings indicated that MMP-1 mRNA reflected the net function of MMP-1 and suggested MMP-1 to be involved in carcinoma invasive process. On the other hand, MMP-1 mRNA was inversely correlated with the patient prognosis (P< 0.01). These results indicated that MMP-1 might therefore play a crucial role in local invasion, but not in systemic dissemination. As a result, MMP-1 might be a novel prognostic factor independent from those previously reported in oesophageal carcinoma.
