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 aim of this study was to investigate the expression of glutamine-metabolism-related proteins according to the histologic grade of phyllodes tumors (PTs) and to assess its clinical implication. We generated tissue microarrays of 224 PTs and performed immunohistochemical staining and western blot analysis of glutamine-metabolism-related molecules, including GLS1, GDH, and ASCT2. The associations between immunohistochemical results and clinicopathologic parameters were evaluated. The expression of GLS1 (p < 0.001), GDH (p < 0.001), and ASCT2 (p = 0.005) in stromal components significantly increased with worsening PT histological grade. GDH expression in epithelial components significantly increased in high-grade PT (p = 0.026). In western blot, stromal expression of GLS1, GDH, and ASCT2 increased as histologic grade increased. By univariate analysis, stromal GLS1 expression (p = 0.022) and stromal GDH expression (p = 0.009) were independent predictors of shorter DFS. Stromal GLS1 expression (p < 0.001) and stromal GDH expression (p < 0.001) were independent predictors of shorter OS. This study demonstrated that the stromal expression of the glutamine-metabolism-related proteins GLS1, GDH, ASCT2 increases with worsening histological PT grade.
