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

CDw75, a B lymphocyte surface antigen, is a sialylated carbohydrate epitope, which is generated by the enzyme beta galactosyl alpha 2,6 sialyltransferase (Sia-T1). In colon carcinomas, although higher levels of Sia-T1 has been described and found to be correlated with metastatic potential of tumor cells, the expression of CDw75 antigen still remains unknown. To address this issue, we investigated immunohistochemically CDw75 antigen expression in 195 colorectal adenocarcinomas and their nodal metastases. The correlation between CDw75 antigen expression with selected clinicopathologic variables was analyzed by using Chi-square and Fisher s exact tests. Positive staining was observed in 101 cases. Non-neoplastic mucosa was negative consistently. The frequency of positivity was decreased according to the degree of differentiation (p<0.001). Antigen expression was found to be associated with deeper penetration (p<0.006), positive lymph nodes (p<0.001), distant metastases (p<0.006) and advanced stage (p<0.001). Same relationships were detected in well and moderately differentiated tumors when CDw75 immunoreactivity was evaluated in each histologic grade separately. Our findings indicate that CDw75 antigen expression may be a good indicator of the biological aggressiveness of colorectal adenocarcinomas especially in tumors with well and moderately differentiated morphology.
