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

backgroundSurvivin is a new member of the Inhibitor of apoptosis protein family that has a dual function as a mitotic regulator and apoptosis inhibitor. Survivin is prominently expressed in transformed cell lines and in many human cancers, including colorectal carcinoma. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of survivin in colorectal carcinomas and its possible associations with clinicopathological parameters and patient survival. MATERIALS AND

methodsSections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 77 colorectal carcinomas were immunohistochemistry stained for survivin.

resultsSurvivin was mainly detected in the bottom of the glands of normal mucosa with mainly cytoplasmic localization. No survivin expression was found in infiltrating lymphocytes, fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells or neural tissue. Survivin staining was detected in 68/77 (88.3%) colorectal carcinomas. Survivin expression was found to be significantly associated with tumor differentiation (P = 0.02) but not with gender, age or Dukes stage. Survival did not differ according to survivin expression.

conclusionSurvivin was found in the majority of colorectal carcinomas, suggesting that its expression is an early event in colorectal carcinogenesis. Its expression is statistically significantly associated with tumor differentiation but not with patient survival.
