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

backgroundRecent studies have reported that aberrant expression of transient receptor potential channel C6 (TRPC6) in a variety of human cancers is associated with aggressive behavior. However, the functional significance of TRPC6 in human cervical cancer is not known. This study was planned to detect whether TRPC6 is expressed in cervical cancer tissue and to evaluate the association between TPRC6 expression and clinicopathologic features.

methodsTissue samples were collected from the West China Second UNIV Hospital of Sichuan University. TRPC6 expression was detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. TRPC6 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry analysis of 40 cervical cancer specimens, and correlations were sought between elevated expression of TRPC6 and clinicopathologic features.

resultsIncreased expression of TRPC6 was detected in 25 of the 40 cervical cancer samples. Positive cells found in cervical carcinomas were significantly increased in numbers compared with specimens without lymphovascular space invasion. Elevated expression of TRPC6 was neither related to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage nor pelvic lymph metastases. Indeed, the clinicopathologic analysis indicated that overexpression of TRPC6 was significantly associated with lymphovascular space invasion.

conclusionThese results indicate that elevated expression of TRPC6 might be associated with an aggressive cervical cancer phenotype.
