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

Homeobox containing 1 (HMBOX1) is a novel transcription factor. However, the expression of HMBOX1 and its functions in human cancer tissues and cell lines have not been fully defined. We generated two specific monoclonal antibodies, 2A5F4 and 4A4F2, against human HMBOX1. In the present study, these two anti-HMBOX1 antibodies were used to investigate the protein expression profile of HMBOX1 in various human cancer tissues and cell lines. The results showed that HMBOX1 in kidney tissue was mainly expressed in the renal tubule; the expression level of HMBOX1 was much higher in clear-cell carcinoma of the kidney originating from the renal tubule. Additionally, high levels of HMBOX1 protein were detected not only in pancreatic cancer tissue but also in the adjacent normal tissue. Notably, the expression level of HMBOX1 in liver cancer was dramatically decreased compared with that in the adjacent normal tissue. Abnormal expression of HMBOX1 in different types of carcinoma tissues suggests that HMBOX1 may be involved in the pathobiology of tumors.
