Roles of Fhit and p53 in Taiwanese surgically treated non-small-cell lung cancers.
Article in British journal of cancer, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Abnormalities of fragile histidine triad (FHIT) and TP53 have been found frequently in nonsmall cell lung cancers. In the current study, 263 primary nonsmall cell lung cancers were investigated for the expressions of Fhit and p53 by immunohistochemistry. Marked reduction of Fhit immunoreactivity (<10% positivity) in 156 (59%) tumours and overexpression of p53 protein (>10% positivity) in 89 (34%) tumours were found. Reduced Fhit expression was also noted in most squamous cell carcinomas (80 out of 99, 81%), and in a smaller fraction of adenocarcinomas (76 out of 164, 46%; P<0.001). p53 nuclear staining was demonstrated in 54 out of 99 (55%) squamous cell carcinomas and in 35 out of 164 (21%) adenocarcinomas (P<0.001). The loss of Fhit expression and p53 overexpression was significantly more common in tumours occurring in smokers (93 out of 113, 82% and 56 out of 113, 50%) than in those of nonsmokers (63 out of 150, 42%; P<0.001 and 33 out of 150, 22%; P<0.001). Notably, p53 overexpression was associated with distant metastasis of patients in the whole series (P=0.027) and in adenocarcinoma (P=0.001). It was also associated with a poorer survival of patients with adenocarcinoma (P=0.032).
