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

Tumorigenesis involves alterations in the tumor suppressor genes (p53), protooncogenes (BCL-2), and housekeeping genes (human MutS homologue-2 (hMSH2). We hypothesized that development of gliomas is associated with alterations of p53, BCL-2, and hMSH2 protein expression. To test our hypothesis and to examine these issues, we immunostained 60 specimens entailing normal brain tissues, gliosis, and gliomas (Grade I, II, III, IV) for p53, BCL-2, and hMSH2 protein expression. As compared with the normal brain and gliosis, examination of the average weighted scores in gliomas (Grade I, II, III, IV, respectively) showed significant up-regulation of: (i) p53 protein (0.0 +/- 0.0; 0.0 +/- 0.0; 0.9 +/- 0.5; 1.6 +/- 0.8; 1.7 +/- 0.5; and 4.1 +/- 0.8, P < 0.0001) (ii) hMSH2 (1.3 +/- 0.3; 1.5 +/- 0.7; 1.9 +/- 1.1; 2.2 +/- 0.5; 4.1 +/- 1.5; and 4.7 +/- 1.1, P < 0.0006), and (iii) BCL-2 (0.8 +/- 0.5; 1.9 +/- 0.5; 1.9 +/- 0.6; 2.0 +/- 0.6; 4.4 +/- 1.2; and 4.6 +/- 0.8, P < 0.001). The expression values (p53, BCL-2, and hMSH2) were statistically significantly higher (P < 0.05) in astrocytomas (Grade III) than in other gliomas. There was an insignificant negative correlation between p53 and BCL-2 (r = -0.07, P > 0.05) and between p53 and hMSH2 (r = -0.08, P > 0.05) protein expression. Alterations of the p53, BCL-2, and hMSH2 proteins occur during the development of these tumors.
