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

backgroundTo assess the value of Tiam1 in predicting lymph node metastasis and survival after curative resection in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

methodsImmunohistochemical staining for Tiam1 was performed on 98 adenocarcinoma and 30 normal lung tissues. The association of Tiam1 protein expression with the clinicopathological characteristics and the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma were subsequently assessed.

resultsImmunohistochemical analysis showed that 60 of 98 (61.22%) adenocarcinoma tissues showed high expression of Tiam1, and high Tiam1 expression was significantly associated with advanced TNM stage (P < 0.0005) and lymph node status (P < 0.0005) of lung adenocarcinoma. Moreover, the lung adenocarcinoma patients with low Tiam1 expression had higher overall survival than patients with high Tiam1 expression (log rank value = 10.805, P = 0.001). High expression of Tiam1 predicted poor overall survival of patients in stages I + II (P = 0.006). Furthermore, multivariate analysis indicated that high expression of Tiam1 protein was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (P = 0.011) in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

conclusionThese findings suggest for the first time that Tiam1 expression may be beneficial in predicting lymph node metastasis and survival of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. A future study will investigate whether Tiam1 can serve as a novel therapeutic target in lung adenocarcinoma.
