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

The Rho-specific guanine nucleotide exchanging factor p114RhoGEF is involved in RhoA activation and cell motility. Previous studies suggest that altered expression of p114RhoGEF could contribute to cancer progression. We investigated an association of p114RhoGEF expression with progression and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect p114RhoGEF expression in 105 NSCLC (34 adenocarcinoma and 71 squamous-cell carcinoma) and 32 normal lung tissues. We found that p114RhoGEF expression was upregulated in squamous-cell lung carcinoma and that p114RhoGEF expression was significantly higher in squamous-cell carcinoma than in adenocarcinoma or normal tissues (P<0.05, both). Expression of p114RhoGEF protein was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis of lung cancer (P<0.05), but not with patients' age, gender, tumor size, differentiation, or stage. Expression of p114RhoGEF protein was also associated with poor overall and event-free survival of squamous-cell lung carcinoma patients (P<0.05). Taken together, p114RhoGEF expression may be useful in predicting progression and survival of squamous-cell lung carcinoma patients. A future study will investigate whether p114RhoGEF can serve as a novel therapeutic target in squamous-cell lung cancer.
