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

purposeProstate cancer is the second most common cancer in men and the sixth most common cause of death from cancer in men worldwide. Currently, a sufficient pathological distinction between patients requiring further treatment and those for which active surveillance remains an option is still lacking, which leads to the problem of overtreatment. Cell proliferation is routinely assessed by detecting Ki-67 antigen. While Ki-67 is expressed throughout the interphase of proliferating cells, phosphorylation of the chromatin constituent histone H3 occurs only during the late G2 phase and mitosis thus providing a more strict assessment of the mitotic activity. We undertook this study to test whether expression of the recently introduced proliferation marker phospho-histone H3 (pHH3) in prostate carcinoma tissue sections exhibits prognostic significance in comparison with Ki-67.

methodsProtein expression of pHH3 and Ki-67 was assessed on TMA consisting of paraffin-embedded tissue from men that had undergone radical prostatectomy. The analysis included triplicate tissue cores of a total of 339 tumor foci. Immunohistochemical staining of pHH3 and Ki-67 was performed and analyzed using Definiens imaging software.

resultsProstate cancer tissue exhibited a significantly higher frequency of pHH3-positive cells compared to benign prostate tissue. pHH3 expression was significantly correlated with Ki-67 expression. Furthermore, statistical analysis revealed positive correlation between pHH3 expression and PSA levels at diagnosis and in addition negatively correlated with overall survival. In contrast to Ki-67 staining, pHH3 expression did not correlate with Gleason grade.

conclusionOur data point to a conceivable role of pHH3 as prognostic biomarker in prostate carcinoma.
