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

purposesTo investigate the significance of CD99 protein expression and gene promoter hypermethylation status in urinary bladder carcinoma and its correlation with the histopathologic parameters. MATERIALS AND

methodsCD99 protein expression was determined by immunohistochemical staining in a series of 100 cases of transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) and 35 cases of normal urinary bladder tissues, and the methylation status of CD99 gene promoter was studied by using methylation-specific PCR and DNA sequencing.

resultsThe positive rate of CD99 protein expression was 62% (62/100) in TCC tissues, it was lower than in normal urinary bladder epithelia (97.1%, 34/35). Gene promoter hypermethylation of CD99 was observed in 26 of 82 (31.7%) cases, and none of the detected ten cases of normal transitional epithelia tissues showed CD99 methylation. CD99 hypermethylation was significantly associated with CD99 protein down-regulation in TCC (P < 0.001). Both the decreased protein expression and the higher methylated frequency of CD99 in TCC of urinary bladder were significantly correlated with the clinical stage, pathological stage, and histological grade.

conclusionsThe down-regulation of CD99 protein expression is a critical event in the progress of TCC, especially in advanced stage, and it can be explained by the presence of CD99 gene promoter hypermethylation in TCC. And both CD99 protein expression and gene promoter hypermethylation have clinical significance and implication for the diagnosis and target therapy for TCC.
