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

purposeTo investigate the expression of claudin 10 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the impact on angiogenesis and the postoperative survival of HCC patients.

methodsThe expression of claudin 10 protein was analyzed on samples from 99 HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy with immunohistochemistry and 31 fresh specimens with Western blotting. We examined the relationship between claudin 10 expression with clinicopathological factors, microvessel density (MVD), and postoperative survival.

resultsWestern blotting and immunohistochemical staining showed that claudin 10 protein was highly expressed in HCC, compared with paraneoplastic liver tissue and normal liver tissue (P < 0.01). Claudin 10 protein expression levels were significantly higher in HCC specimens with microscopic venous invasion (P < 0.01). MVD in HCC increased with enhanced claudin 10 expression (P < 0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that HCC patients with high claudin 10 expression had significantly shorter overall survival (P = 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that claudin 10 expression was an independent prognostic indicator for postoperative overall survival of HCC patients (P < 0.01).

conclusionsClaudin 10 protein is highly expressed in HCC tissue and is closely related to angiogenesis. Claudin 10 protein could be a useful marker to predict poor prognosis of HCC patients after hepatectomy.
