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 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) is an endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases and potential biomarker of various types of human cancers. However, the association between TIMP-1 expression and the clinical features of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is barely investigated. In this study, one-step quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining with tissue microarrays were employed to evaluate the relationship between TIMP-1 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of LSCC. Results showed that the TIMP-1 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly higher in LSCC than in the corresponding non-cancerous tissues (p<0.05). TIMP-1 protein expression in LSCC was associated with tumor differentiation (p=0.012) and overall survival (p=0.043). Kaplan-Meier method and Cox multi-factor analysis suggested that high TIMP-1 expression (p=0.008) and positive lymph node metastasis (p=0.029) were significantly associated with the poor survival of patients with LSCC. These data indicated that TIMP-1 may be identified as a prognostic marker of LSCC.
