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 transcription factor FOXP3 is specifically expressed in regulatory T (Treg) cells and appears to mediate immune surveillance. Indeed, FOXP3(+)Treg cells have been linked to disease pathogenesis, including some cancers. This study investigated the presence of FOXP3(+)Treg cells in colorectal cancer and the relationship of FOXP3 expression with clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect expression of FOXP3 in 63 samples of colorectal cancer and 20 samples of healthy colorectal tissue; flow cytometry was used to detect FOXP3(+)Treg cells in peripheral blood. FOXP3 was more commonly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues than in normal colorectal tissues (P < 0.05). Similarly, the percentage of FOXP3(+)Treg cells in the peripheral blood was higher in patients with colorectal cancer than in control individuals (P < 0.05). The expression of FOXP3 was positively correlated with gender, Dukes staging, and lymph node metastasis. Further, expression increased with the increasing degree of malignancy (P < 0.05). Thus, FOXP3 expression may represent a valuable index in evaluating the degree of malignancy, clinicopathologic staging, and lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer. Further, detection of FOXP3(+)Treg cells may be useful in predicting invasion, metastasis, and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.
