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

Cullin 4B (CUL4B), a scaffold protein of the Cullin4B-RING E3 ligase complex, functions in proteolysis. The present study aims to investigate its expression pattern and evaluate whether CUL4B expression was associated with histopathological and prognosis in the patients with colon cancer. Real-time PCR and western blot were used to identify CUL4B expression in tumor tissue and the paired adjacent normal mucosa from patients with colon cancer. Immunohistochemistry on a tissue microarray containing 203 cases of colon cancer was performed to analyze the association between CUL4B expression and clinicopathological features. Results indicated that CUL4B mRNA and protein levels in tumor tissues were both higher than that in normal mucosae (P < 0.001). Immunohistochemical study displayed that high CUL4B expression was significantly associated with the depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, histological differentiation, vascular invasion, and advanced tumor stage. Patients with CUL4B-positive tumors had a higher recurrence rate and poorer survival than patients with CUL4B-negative tumors. In multivariate analyses, CUL4B expression was an independent factor for determining colon cancer prognosis after surgery. In conclusion, CUL4B might promote the progression of colon cancer and can be served as a novel independent prognostic marker for the prediction of recurrence in colon cancer.
