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 role of nuclear factor (NF)-кBp65 pathway in the pathogenesis of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) has not been fully investigated. We retrieved 10 cases of FTC from our file. Tissue microarrays (TMAs) were constructed using 2.0 mm cores from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. TMA sections were immunohistochemically stained for phosphorylated (p)-NF-кBp65 (Ser 536), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), IL-8, and glutathione S-transferase (GST)-pi. Staining intensity (0-3+), extensiveness (0-100%) and subcellular compartmentalization were evaluated. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic immunoreactivities with p-NF-кBp65 (Ser 536) antibodies were observed in all 10 cases, including moderate to strong nuclear staining intensity with a range of extensiveness in 20% - 100% of tumor cells. Moderate (2+) or strong (3+) cytoplasmic expressions of COX-2 and IL-8 were present in 60-100% and 50- 100% of tumor cells, respectively, in all cases. GST-pi was diffusely (70-100%) and moderately or strongly staining the tumor cytoplasm in all cases (except one case with insufficient tissue) with three of them demonstrating nuclear positivity as well. Morphoproteomic analysis reveals the constitutive activation of the NF-кBp65 pathway in follicular thyroid carcinomas as evidenced by phosphorylation at Ser 536 with nuclear translocation and with correlative expression of transcriptionally activated gene products (COX-2, IL-8, and GST-pi). This observation may provide a molecular basis for the tumor biology and targeted therapies for follicular thyroid carcinoma.
