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

Thyroid cancer 1 (TC-1, C8orf4) is involved in the development of many cancers. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the expression of TC-1 and the clinicopathological characteristics of ovarian and colorectal adenocarcinomas. We also explored the possible use of TC-1 as a marker to distinguish between metastatic tumors of the ovary and colorectum. We used immunohistochemistry to examine the expression level of TC-1 in 100 ovarian and 100 colorectal adenocarcinomas and 25 metastatic carcinomas with the ovary or colorectum as primary site. TC-1 was expressed in all ovarian carcinoma samples. The high expression rate of TC-1 was 84 % in ovarian carcinomas, which was much higher than that observed in colorectal adenocarcinomas (35 %, P < 0.001). High expression of TC-1 significantly correlated with poor differentiation of ovarian carcinomas (P = 0.013). To explore the value of TC-1 in distinguishing metastatic ovarian cancers from colorectal cancers, we found the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of TC-1 to be 0.819 (95 % confidence interval, 0.760-0.878; P < 0.001). Furthermore, TC-1 was highly expressed in 100 % of nine metastatic ovarian cancers, but only in 31 % of 16 metastatic colorectal cancers. The higher expression of TC-1 in ovarian compared to colorectal adenocarcinomas suggests its potential use as a marker, to distinguish between metastatic ovarian and colorectal adenocarcinomas.
