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

Expressions of human p16 and p27 were tested for correlations with clinicopathologic features of urothelial carcinoma (UC). Tissue microarrays (TMA) constructed from paraffin-embedded specimens from 78 patients with UC were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining. In 49 of the 78 tumors (63%), high p16 expression was associated with absence of tumor invasiveness and low-grade carcinoma (p = 0.003 and p = 0.046, respectively). The p27 expression was high in 33 of the 78 tumors (42%) and showed a significant negative association with invasiveness, carcinoma grade, and tumor size (p = 0.016, p = 0.046, and p = 0.014, respectively). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that patients with high p27 levels had longer than average overall survival (p = 0.021). This study demonstrates that p16 and p27 are prognostic indicators of tumor stage and grade in UC and that they provide clinicians with the ancillary information needed for selecting suitable therapeutic strategies.
