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

backgroundEmerging evidence has suggested that Notch signaling pathway may be involved in the development, progression and metastasis of prostate cancer (PCa). In the present study, we investigated the expression levels of Jagged-1 and Notch-1 in human prostate tumors and their associations with PCa progression and metastasis.

methodsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) for Jagged-1 and Notch-1 was performed on tissue microarray (TMA) slides containing 286 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens with various prostatic pathologies, including benign changes, high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN), low- and high-grade PCas as well as metastatic PCa.

resultsCytoplasmic and membranous IHC scores for Jagged-1 in both metastatic PCa and high grade PCa were significantly higher than those in low grade PCa and in benign prostatic tissues. Similarly, cytoplasmic IHC scores of Notch-1 in both metastatic PCa and high grade PCa were significantly elevated compared with those observed in low grade PCa and in benign prostatic tissues. A statistically significant correlation was identified between the expression of Jagged-1 and Notch-1 in human prostatic tissues. Furthermore, significantly more highly expressed Jagged-1 in membrane was observed in Caucasian patients with high-grade or metastatic PCa (vs. African Americans) and in PCa patients with positive surgical margins (vs. negative surgical margins).

conclusionOur results provide strong evidence that up-regulation of Jagged1-Notch1 signaling plays a role in PCa progression and metastasis and suggest that Jagged-1 and Notch-1 may be useful markers in distinguishing indolent and aggressive PCas.
