Comparison of beta-catenin with TGF-beta1, HIF-1alpha and patients' disease-free survival in human colorectal cancer.
Article in Pathology oncology research : POR, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Beta-catenin accumulation is suppressed by TGF-beta1 (transforming growth factor beta1) in intestinal epithelium suggesting negative feedback between these two factors. Besides that, beta-catenin interacts with HIF-1alpha (hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha) at the promoter region of HIF-1 target genes. Our study was aimed at comparison of beta-catenin with HIF-1alpha, TGF-beta1, Ki67 and survival of sporadic colorectal cancer patients. Expressions of beta-catenin, TGF-beta1, HIF-1alpha, Ki67 were evaluated in triads of specimens of each primary tumor of 72 sporadic colorectal cancers with immunohistochemistry due to limited availability of tissue material. Disease-free survival was analyzed in case of all 100 beta-catenin stained tumors, in 85 cancers stained for HIF-1 and in 72 neoplasms with TGFbeta1 staining. Beta-catenin, TGF-beta1 and HIF-1alpha accumulated in 72 colorectal cancer cells. Beta-catenin correlated both with HIF-1alpha and TGF-beta1 in all colorectal cancers (p < 0.009, r = 0.307 and p = 0.003, r = 0.342, respectively) and in subgroups of different clinico-pathological profile. Beta-catenin failed to correlate with Ki67. In case of beta-catenin, TGF-beta1 and HIF-1alpha, disease-free survival curves failed to show any statistically significant differences between groups of marker negative tumors, cancers with low expression and neoplasms with higher protein expression. Positive correlations between beta-catenin and TGF-beta1 may indicate ineffective attempts of TGF-beta1 to reduce intracellular level of beta-catenin in colorectal cancer. Associations between beta-catenin and HIF-1alpha reflect previously detected interactions between HIF-1alpha with beta-catenin and are confirmative for presence of such reactions in human colorectal cancer.
