CD147 expression in advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
Trial report in Journal of cutaneous pathology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCD147 is upregulated in multiple cancer types, but its expression in advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is unknown. Our purpose was to evaluate the expression patterns of CD147 and related monocarboxylate transporters (MCT1, MCT4) to determine their correlation with survival.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of patients with advanced stage cutaneous SCC of the head and neck who presented to a tertiary care center between 1998 and 2006 (n=50). CD147, MCT1 and MCT4 expression levels were assessed using immunofluorescence analysis of archived tumor samples and correlated with survival and clinicopathologic characteristics.
resultsThe majority of patients (92%, n = 46) were diagnosed with stage III disease, with 46% (n = 23) having positive regional lymph node metastasis and 8% (n = 4) with distant metastasis. Primary malignancies had an overexpression of CD147 (78%; n = 35), MCT1 (23%; n = 10) and MCT4 (47%; n = 20). In addition, there was a significant relationship between the overexpression of CD147 and node positive disease (p = 0.048). Two- and five-year survival rates were 69 and 61%, respectively. There was a trend toward decreased survival in patients with overexpression of CD147 (p = 0.17), MCT1 (p = 0.11) and MCT4 (p = 0.15).
conclusionCD147 may represent a biomarker or potential therapeutic target in advanced cutaneous SCC.
