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

Nuclear expression of β-catenin has been suggested as an independent prognostic marker in a variety of cancers. The objective of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic significance of nuclear β-catenin expression in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). In this original research article, we detected nuclear β-catenin expression in 29/171 CSCC tissues (17.0%). Patients without nuclear β-catenin expression had a significantly better outcome than patients with nuclear β-catenin expression (93.7% versus 82.7% P = 0.027). Furthermore, nuclear β-catenin expression was predictive of prognosis in CSCC patients with early stage disease (FIGO stage I or tumor size ≤ 4 cm), with well/moderately differentiated tumors, or lymph node metastasis. Interestingly, nuclear β-catenin expression correlated with poor outcome in patients who received postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Multivariate analysis suggested that nuclear β-catenin expression is an independent prognostic indicator in CSCC. Our findings suggest that nuclear β-catenin expression may be used as a prognostic biomarker in CSCC, especially for patients with early stage disease, well/moderately differentiated tumors, or lymph node metastasis. Moreover, nuclear β-catenin expression has potential as a predictive marker of chemoresistance and radioresistance in CSCC.
