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

backgroundCIAPIN1, a newly identified antiapoptotic molecule, is a downstream effector of the receptor tyrosine kinase-Ras signaling pathway in the mouse Ba/F3 pro-B cell line. Neither CIAPIN1 expression nor its clinical significance has been previously examined in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and the present immunohistochemical analysis is the first study on CIAPIN1 distribution in ESCC.

aimsTo investigate the relationships between the expression of CIAPIN1 and clinicopathological characteristics of ESCC, and evaluate the relationship between the expression of this gene and prognosis in ESCC patients.

methodsThe expression of CIAPIN1 was investigated in 112 surgically resected specimens of ESCC by immunohistochemistry using a specific monoclonal antibody. The relations of CIAPIN1 expression with clinicopathological characteristics and the postoperative survival rate were statistically analyzed.

resultsWe found that the expression of CIAPIN1 was statistically correlated with the degree of differentiation, depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis of ESCC. Consistently, the survival rates of patients with CIAPIN1-negative tumors tended to be statistically lower than those with CIAPIN1-positive tumors. However, no significant difference was observed between CIAPIN1 expression and the patient age, sex, tumor location, and distant metastasis. Furthermore, multivariate analysis was performed by using Cox's proportional hazards model, and the results showed that lymph node metastases and CIAPIN1 expression were two independent prognostic factors.

conclusionsCIAPIN1 might play an important role in esophageal carcinogenesis, and it could be considered as a valuable prognostic indicator in ESCC. Finally, functional enhancement of CIAPIN1 might lead to a novel strategy for the treatment of SCC in the esophagus.
