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

Ezrin protein acts in the regulation of cytoskeletal and directly influences survival and tumor progression; there is an increase in its expression in metastatic cells and tissues in several types of cancer including colorectal cancer. 250 Patients with colorectal cancer submitted to surgery from 1995 to 2002. Protein expression was carried through by Tissue Micro Array immunohistochemical tests of paraffined neoplasic tissues and associated with clinical variables. Differentiation degree, lymph node invasion, metastasis at diagnosis, and palliative surgery were associated to a higher expression of the protein and survival. Higher expression of the Ezrin correlates with tumor aggressiveness and worse prognosis for colorectal cancer.
