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

aimThe aim of this study was to investigate the role of ADAMTS12 in colorectal cancer progression and to examine whether ADAMTS-12 can be considered as a prognostic indicator for colorectal cancer.

methodsThis study was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded resected specimens obtained from 112 patients with colorectal cancer. The expression level of ADAMTS12 was investigated by immunohistochemical staining to assess the relationship between ADAMTS12 expression and the clinicopathologic factors and to study the prognostic significance of ADAMTS12 in colorectal cancer patients.

resultsADAMTS12 expression was mainly localized in the fibroblasts adjacent to the tumor cells or in macrophages in front of the invasive cancer margins. The ADAMTS12 expression was significantly correlated with the tumor histological grade, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, and Dukes' stage. Patients with low or no ADAMTS12 expression in the tumor stroma had a significantly poor overall survival or disease-free survival.

conclusionThe expression of ADAMTS12 in colorectal cancer stroma plays an important role in inhibiting tumor development. Patients with ADAMTS12 expression showed better prognosis than those without ADAMTS12 expression. Thus, ADAMTS12 expression may be a good prognostic marker for colorectal cancer.
