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

backgroundAurora B is a serine-threonine kinase and chromosomal passenger protein involved in the control of chromosome assembly and segregation during mitosis. Aberrant expression of Aurora B has been reported in some tumors, including lung and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We investigated the role of Aurora B expression in both HCC and matched adjacent non-tumor tissue.

methodsSixty-three patients with HCC who underwent hepatic resection were enrolled in this study. Aurora B expression in tumor and non-tumor tissue was examined by use of quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The patients were divided into high and low gene expression groups by median value, and clinicopathological data were compared between the two groups.

resultsAurora B expression was significantly higher in tumor tissue than in non-cancerous tissue (P < 0.001). Disease-free survival was not significantly different between groups with high and low expression in the tumor tissues. For non-tumor tissues, disease-free survival of the low-expression group was significantly better than that of the high-expression group (P < 0.05). The gene expression level of Aurora B correlated with results from liver function tests, for example prothrombin time.

conclusionAurora B expression in non-cancerous tissues may be a prognostic factor for HCC.
