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

backgroundLoss of CD95 expression in tumour cells occurs frequently in colon carcinoma and may be associated with disease progression. On the other hand, neo-expression of CD95L in tumour cells may contribute to immune evasion.

aimsWe aimed at further exploring the functional role and prognostic significance of the CD95/CD95L death inducing system in colon carcinomas. PATIENTS AND

methodsCD95 and CD95L expression was examined by immunohistochemistry in 128 R0 resected UICC (International Union against Cancer) stage II/III colon carcinomas and correlated with disease free survival.

resultsCD95 expression in tumour cells was observed in only 30 carcinomas (23.4%) whereas the others had at least a minor subpopulation of CD95 negative cells. Loss of CD95 in tumour cells was related to adverse prognosis in uni- and multivariate analysis (p = 0.046 and p = 0.036, respectively). Tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were the major source of CD95L in colon carcinomas. CD95L+TIL were present in 83% of cases whereas CD95L was found in tumour cells in only 12% of cases. Moreover, a high rate of CD95L+TIL correlated with prolonged disease free survival in patients with UICC stage II (p = 0.05) but not in those with stage III.

conclusionsLoss of CD95 in tumour cells may be an independent prognostic factor in colon carcinomas. The CD95L counterattack is not a relevant feature in colon carcinoma but CD95L+TIL may contribute to tumour control in the early stages of the disease, exerting a concurrent selection pressure in the direction of CD95 abrogation/resistance.
