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

Lack of surface Fas expression is a main route for apoptotic resistance which is considered an important mechanism of tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Fas and FasL expressions in 110 non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs) were investigated to evaluate their roles in pulmonary carcinogenesis and to examine the clinicopathologic significance of Fas expression with its relationship with p53 and bcl-2 overexpressions. Immunohistochemical analysis using tissue microarray demonstrated that a large proportion of NSCLC patients (60%) showed lack of membranous Fas expression. The Fas-negative cases revealed the significantly lower survival rate than Fas-positive ones. Also, the loss of Fas receptor expression was found more frequently in advanced stage and higher nodal status. FasL protein was increased in most NSCLCs (89%) compared to normal lungs. p53 and bcl-2 overexpressions showed no association with Fas expression. Conclusively, reduced membranous Fas expression as a mechanism of apoptotic resistance is considered to play an important part of the pulmonary carcinogenesis, which may predict poor survival and have a bad prognostic influence. Increased FasL expression is thought to be a basis for the immune evasion in NSCLCs. The rare bcl-2 overexpression suggests that this anti-apoptotic protein is unlikely to play a role in the apoptotic resistance of NSCLCs.
