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

aimTo evaluate the expression pattern of two novel oncofetal antigens, the HoxD9 and Pbx1 homeoproteins in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) to determine what role they would play in the carcinogenesis of ESCC.

methodsWe obtained tissue samples of ESCC from 56 patients who underwent esophagectomy but not preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The diagnosis of ESCC was established and confirmed by staff pathologists. We used a highly sensitive, indirect, immunocytochemical method to detect HoxD9 and PbX1 proteins. We qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated cells that exhibited and staining using a light microscope.

resultsIn all observed carcinoma tissue samples, more than 60% of neoplastic cells stained lightly or strongly for HoxD9, and more than 50% of neoplastic cells stained lightly or strongly for Pbx1.

conclusionOur data suggest that HoxD9 and Pbx1 are inappropriately expressed in most human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Understanding the role of Hox genes in esophageal epithelial cell carcinogenesis may not only augment early detection but also offer new avenues for treatment of this disease.
