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

purposeAn increasing number of studies have shown that PUMA and C-myb signaling pathways are involved in various human cancers including colon carcinomas. However, few studies have examined gallbladder cancer specimens, and little is known about the clinical and pathological significance signaling changes may have in gallbladder adenocarcinoma. This study has investigated the expression of PUMA and C-myb in benign and malignant lesions of gallbladder and its pathological significance.

methodsTissue specimens from 108 gallbladder adenocarcinoma patients, 46 adjacent tissues, 15 cases of adenomatous polyps, and 35 surgical specimens from chronic cholecystitis patients were routinely paraffin embedded and sectioned. PUMA and C-myb expressions were detected with EnVision immunohistochemistry.

resultsPositive rates of PUMA and C-myb are significantly higher in gallbladder adenocarcinoma tissues than that in the other three (P < 0.01). Gallbladder epithelial cells in PUMA and/or C-myb positive benign cases manifest moderate to severe atypical dysplasia. Positive rates of PUMA and C-myb in well-differentiated tumors with maximum diameter of <2 cm and with no lymph node metastasis and invasion of the surrounding tissues are significantly lower than that in those poorly differentiated cases with maximum diameter of ≥ 2 cm, lymph node metastasis, and invasion of the surrounding tissues (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The postoperative survival of patients whose tumor specimens are positive for PUMA and C-myb is significantly shorter than that of those who are negative for both markers (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).

conclusionsOur results have demonstrated that PUMA and C-myb positive gallbladder tumors progress rapidly, are prone to metastasis, possess strong invasive ability, and have poor prognosis.
