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

purposeSurvivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein and a cell cycle regulator, has been detected in the majority of human cancers. Five splice variants (survivin, survivin-2alpha, survivin-2B, survivin-3B, and survivin-DeltaEx3) have been identified; their expressions have been investigated here.

methodsBy means of RT real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry, we have evaluated survivin isoform expressions at both mRNA and protein levels in human normal oral tissue, precancerous lesions, and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Their correlations with the pathological findings have also been analyzed.

resultsExpression levels of all survivin transcript variants were markedly elevated in OSCC when compared to normal tissues. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed highly significant up-regulation of survivin (P = 0.001), survivin-DeltaEx3 (P = 0.001) and survivin-2B (P = 0.004), whereas survivin-3B showed a minor increase in OSCC compared to normal mucosa.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that survivin isoforms deregulation may have significant implications in tumor aggressiveness and prognosis.
