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

Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is associated with a 25 % rate of metastases. The prognostic and predictive relevances of the expression of five proteins (c-FLIPL/s, HIF-1α, β-catenin, p65, and p105/p50 NF-κβ) were assessed. This is a retrospective study. From 1998 to 2009, 152 patients with stage II/III rectal cancer were treated with radio-chemotherapy. TMAs constructed with tumor and normal tissue from the diagnostic endoscopic biopsy and the surgical specimen after chemoradiotherapy were subjected to immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. Results were correlated with clinical and pathological data, including progression-free survival (PFS). Four different IHC conditions were independent prognostic parameters for PFS: (1) cytoplasmic c-FLIPL/s (p = 0.007), (2) nuclear HIF-1α (p = 0.020), (3) a change in the cytoplasmic p65 between the diagnostic biopsy and the post-treatment specimen (p = 0.004), and (4) a change in the cytoplasmic c-FLIPL/s between the diagnostic biopsy and the post-treatment specimen (p = 0.021). Three different protein expression profiles, combining biomarkers, showed prognostic significance. IHC evaluation of these biomarkers in our three protein expression profiles may help to identify patients with worse prognosis and design more effective therapeutic strategies to personalize the treatment of rectal cancer.
