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

backgroundTranscription of the catalytic subunit of telomerase, human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (hTERT), and increased tumor cell proliferation are powerful prognostic factors in neuroblastoma. We therefore investigated their relationship in a large group of neuroblastomas.

methodsRT-PCR analysis was used to discriminate between the various hTERT transcripts. Tumor cell proliferation was assessed immunohistochemically using two different cell-cycle specific antibodies and the results were compared by statistical analysis. RESULTS AND

conclusions54 out of 115 neuroblastomas showed hTERT transcripts, 25 of which also possessed full-length transcripts. Full-length hTERT transcripts were correlated with MYCN-amplification, with a Ki67-proliferation index > or = 25% and a repp86-proliferation index > or = 10% (p<0,0001), but only a Ki67-proliferation index > or = 25% was associated with general hTERT transcription (p=0,001). Our data confirm the close relationship between hTERT transcription and tumor cell proliferation and further strengthen the exceptional prognostic power of the repp86-proliferation index.
