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 study the expressions of p27 kip1 protein and p27mRNA, the hypermethylation of p27 kip1 and the relation between them in various stages of hepatocarcinogenesis.

methodsp27 protein and p27mRNA were detected by immunohistochemical staining and in situ hybridization respectively in 68 cases of normal liver, liver cirrhosis, pericancerous cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The hypermethylation of p27 kip1 was detected by methylation-specific PCR (MSP) in 44 cases of normal liver, liver cirrhosis, and HCC.

resultsThe positive rate of p27 protein was 66.7% (4/6) in normal liver, 60.0% (6/10) in liver cirrhosis, 50.0% (12/24) in pericancerous cirrhosis and 21.4% (6/28) in HCC. There were no statistical differences in normal liver, liver cirrhosis and pericancerous cirrhosis, but the positive rate of p27 protein significantly decreased in HCC compared to that in the other groups (P = 0.006, chi2 = 7.664). The positive rate of p27 kip1 mRNA was 83.3% (5/6) in normal liver, 70.0% (7/10) in liver cirrhosis, 75.0% (18/24) in pericancerous cirrhosis and 25.0% (7/28) in HCC. There were no statistical differences in normal liver, liver cirrhosis and pericancerous cirrhosis, but the positive rate of p27 kip1 mRNA also significantly decreased in HCC compared to that in the other groups (P = 0.000, chi2 = 16.600). In addition, there was a significant correlation between the expression of p27 protein and p27mRNA in the integrated group of normal liver and liver cirrhosis. However, no significant correlation was found between pericancerous cirrhosis and HCC. Using MSP, we found that 1 HCC in 44 cases (including 6 cases of normal liver, 10 cases of liver cirrhosis and 28 cases of HCC) was methylated, whose p27 protein and p27mRNA were negative.

conclusionThe reduction or loss of p27 protein and p27mRNA are potentially involved in hepatocarcinogenesis. The hypermethylation of p27 might lead to the loss of p27mRNA transcription.
