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

backgroundCarbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is a membranous expressed metalloenzyme involved in pH homeostasis and cell adhesion. The protein is overexpressed in a variety of tumors and potentially associated with negative outcome. This study was designed to investigate the prognostic role of CAIX in serum and tumor tissue of patients with primary cervical cancer.

methodsTumor samples of 221 consecutive patients with primary cervical cancer who underwent surgery between 1993 and 2008 were analyzed for CAIX expression by immunohistochemistry. Additionally, preoperative serum CAIX concentrations were determined by ELISA in a subset of patients. Correlation with intratumoral CAIX expression as well as clinicopathological factors and outcome was analyzed.

resultsCAIX expression was observed in 81.9% of the tumor specimens; 62.0% showed a moderate or strong staining intensity. Moderate/strong expression was associated with squamous histology (p=0.024), advanced tumor stage (p=0.001), greater invasion depth (p=0.025), undifferentiated tumor grade (p<0.001) and high preoperative SCC-Ag values (p=0.042). Furthermore patients with moderate/strong intratumoral CAIX expression had a higher number of metastatic lymph nodes compared to those with none/weak intratumoral expression levels (p=0.047) and there was a non-significant association between high intratumoral CAIX expression and shorter survival (p=0.118). Preoperative serum concentrations of CAIX ranged between 23 and 499 pg/mL and did not correlate with intratumoral expression or other clinicopathological variables.

conclusionCAIX is associated with advanced tumor stages and lymph node metastases in cervical cancer, potentially representing a new target in this disease. In contrast to other epithelial cancers we could not observe a correlation between serum CAIX and its intratumoral expression.
