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

Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5), a zinc finger-containing transcription factor, is involved in important biological processes including cell transformation, proliferation, and carcinogenesis. However, its clinical significance has remained largely unknown in laryngeal cancer. Here, specimens from 144 patients with laryngeal tumors were investigated by immunohistochemical staining for KLF5, integrin-linked kinase (ILK), and E-cadherin expressions. A clinicopathological study revealed that the KLF5 expression level in tumor cells was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05) and local recurrence (P < 0.05). In addition, KLF5, ILK, and E-cadherin (epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarker) expressions were correlated with each other. These findings suggest that KLF5 may be an epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated biomarker in human laryngeal carcinomas and play important roles in the progression of laryngeal carcinomas. KLF5 immunoreactivity is therefore considered a potential lymph node metastasis and recurrence factor in human laryngeal cancers. In addition, the KLF5-mediated pathway is a potential target for elimination of laryngeal cancer in the future.
