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

purposeThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the standard CD44 (CD44s) expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) with invasion to the subserosal layer (T3), its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics, and its potential metastatic significance. MATERIALS AND

methodsCD44s expression was measured on immunohistochemistry in tumors from 65 patients with primary colorectal carcinomas. CD44s expression was estimated at the deepest invaded area of the tumor in subserosal layer.

resultsCD44s was demonstrated in 35.4% (23/65). CD44s expression showed no significant relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics such as age, gender, tumor location, tumor size, and macroscopic/microscopic classification. However, the CD44s expression showed significantly adverse relationship with lymph node metastasis (p < 0.05) and liver metastasis (p < 0.01), respectively.

conclusionThe loss of CD44s expression in cancer cells in the deepest invaded area is a good marker for predicting potential metastasis to lymph nodes and liver in T3 CRC.
