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

purposeRecent studies have identified polycomb-group gene Bmi-1 as oncogene in the generation of mouse pre-cell lymphomas, and overexpression of Bmi-1 has been found in several human tumor with the disease progress and poor prognosis of the cancer patients.

methodsIn present study, we investigated Bmi-1 expression and its prognostic significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by performing immunohistochemical analysis, using a total of 137 HCC clinical tissue samples.

resultsHigh Bmi-1 expression (Bmi-1 2+ or 3+) was shown in 29.9% cases. The positive immuno-staining of Bmi-1 was not only in well/moderately-differentiated tumor cells, but also in surrounding noncancerous or cirrhotic liver tissue. Bmi-1 expression level did not correlate with any clinicopathological parameters. However, survival analysis showed that the high-Bmi-1 group had a significantly shorter overall survival time than the low-Bmi-1 group (P=0.047). Multivariate analysis after 24 months revealed that Bmi-1 expression was a significant and independent prognostic parameter (P=0.002) for HCC patients.

conclusionsOur study indicated that Bmi-1 could be a candidate biomarker for long-term survival in HCC.
