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

Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is present on the surface of tumor cells where it stimulates adjacent fibroblasts to produce matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). We have analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics of EMMPRIN and MMP2 expression in normal brain tissue and pediatric gliomas and evaluated their prognostic value in diagnosing the latter. Immunochemistry analysis revealed EMMPRIN and MMP2 expression in cryo-sections of pediatric gliomas (45 samples) and normal brain tissue (20 samples). Both EMMPRIN and MMP2 were expressed in normal brain and glioma tissues with different levels of malignancy. The intensively positive expression rates of EMMPRIN (22/27) and MMP2 (21/27) in anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma tissues were significantly higher than those in normal brain and low-grade astrocytoma tissues (2/28 and (1/2)8, respectively). Spearman analysis indicated that the expression level of EMMPRIN was significantly positively correlated with that of MMP2 (r = 0.86, p < 0.01). The positive expression of EMMPRIN and MMP2 was associated with higher grade gliomas. Patients with EMMPRIN+/MMP2+ expression had the lowest survival rate (p < 0.01). Based on these results, we conclude that EMMPRIN and MMP2 are expressed differently in normal brain and pediatric gliomas. The detection of their co-expression may facilitate the prediction of pediatric gliomas prognosis.
