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 actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic structure with actin-binding proteins (ABPs) playing an essential role in the regulation of migration, differentiation and signal transduction in all eukaryotic cells. We examined the relationship between altered expression of four ABPs and clinical parameters in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). To this end, we analyzed 152 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded esophageal curative resection specimens by immunohistochemistry for tensin, profilin-1, villin-1 and talin. A molecular predictor model, based on the combined expression of the four proteins, was developed to correlate the expression pattern of the four ABPs with clinical factors and prognosis of ESCC. According to the results, weak significance was found for tensin in lymph node metastasis (P=0.033), and profilin-1 in pTNM stage (P=0.031). However, our four-protein model showed strong correlation with the 5-year overall survival rate (P=0.002). Similarly, Kendall's tau-b test also showed the relationship between the collective expression pattern of the four ABPs with lymph node metastasis (P=0.005) and pTNM stage (P=0.001). Our results demonstrate that the collective protein expression pattern of four actin-binding proteins could be a biomarker to estimate the prognosis of ESCC patients.
