Prognostic significance of the Fas-receptor/Fas-ligand system in cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We studied whether Fas-receptor (Fas-R; CD95) expression, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Fas promoter region, and/or Fas-ligand (Fas-L) production could determine individual susceptibility to cervical cancer progression. The clinicopathologic features of 38 patients with cervical squamous carcinomas (22 stage I, 8 stage II, and 8 stage III+) were reviewed and related with: (a) Fas-R expression by immunohistochemistry; (b) Fas-R SNPs at -670 and -1377 locations by restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing; and (c) Fas-L expression by immunohistochemistry. Overall and disease-free survival curves showed significant differences in relation to stage (p < 0.001). Fas-R was identified in 20 of 38 (52.6%) tumors without statistical differences in survival, stage, or Fas-L overproduction. Fas-R GG genotype was more common than expected in advanced tumors (p = 0.065). The Fas-R-1377A allele and AA genotype were unrelated with survival, stage, or Fas-R expression. Fas-L overproduction was detected in 20 of 38 (52.6%) tumors; it was more frequent in advanced-stage tumors and was inversely related to survival (p = 0.03) and decrease in host inflammatory response (p = 0.01). Fas-R expression by tumor cells seems unrelated to stage or lymphoid infiltrate. Tumor production of Fas-L may represent an attempt to destroy the host's lymphocytic reaction.
