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

The phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 (PEBP4) is a member of the PEBP family. It not only plays a role in the inhibition of the MAPK signaling pathway but also is involved in the inhibition of the JNK pathway that promotes the activation of AKT. Recent research has also shown that overexpression of PEBP4 was related to the development, invasion, and metastasis of a variety of tumors. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between PEBP4 protein expression in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissue and the clinical pathology of lung squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect PEBP4 expression in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissue and adjacent normal tissue from 61 patients. Western blotting was used to detect changes in the expression of PEBP4 protein between lung squamous cell carcinoma tissue and adjacent normal tissues. The correlation of PEBP4 expression and the occurrence, development, and clinical pathology of lung squamous cell carcinoma was analyzed. Of 61 patients, four patients were PEBP4 negative (-; 6.6%) and 57 patients were positive (+ to +++; 93.4%). Of those positive for PEBP4 expression, 7 patients were weakly positive (+; 11.5%), 21 patients were positive (++; 34.4%), and 29 patients were strongly positive (+++; 47.5%). PEBP4 protein was more highly expressed in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissue than in the adjacent normal lung tissue (p < 0.05). In PEBP4-positive patients, PEBP4 protein expression was significantly greater in those with lymph node metastases than in those without (p < 0.05). PEBP4 expression was significantly lower in patients at early (I and II) stages than in patients at advanced (III and IV) stages (p < 0.05). In less differentiated lung squamous cell carcinomas, PEBP4 protein expression was greater (p < 0.05); however, this was unrelated to the gender, age, or tumor size of the patient (p > 0.05). PEBP4 protein overexpression was associated with the occurrence, invasion, and metastasis of lung squamous cell carcinoma.
