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

purposeNotch signaling was recently found to be associated with prognosis of some cancers. The aim of the study is to investigate significance of the expression of HES1/HES5 protein, downstream effectors of Notch, in prognosis of the patients with advanced ovarian epithelial cancers.

methodsFormalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues and clinic-pathological parameters from 61 patients with FIGO stage IIIc-IV ovarian serous adenocarcinoma were collected, the expression of HES1 and HES5 protein were immunohistochemically detected, and the association of HES1 and HES5 expression with survival of the patients were analyzed.

resultsThe expressions of both HES1 and HES5 in adenocarcinoma were significantly higher than those in adenoma and normal control (chi(2) = 32.915, P = 0.000 and chi(2) = 46.863, P = 0.000 respectively). Overall survival and disease-free period were longer in HES1 low-expression patients (median 43.0 and 22.0 months) than those in high-expression patients (median 24.0 and 14.5 months). Of those, Overall survival period of patients with HES1 low-expression was significantly longer than that of those with high-expression (chi(2) = 4.049, P = 0.044). Univariate analysis and multivariate Cox regression model did not show that HES1 or HES5 expression was a factor associated with survival of advanced ovarian serous adenocarcinoma patients.

conclusionsThe expressions of bHLH gene HES1 and HES5 are increased in advanced ovarian serous adenocarcinomas, and HES1 high-expression probably is a potential poor prognostic factor for the patients.
