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

backgroundMelanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) family genes are reported to play important roles in the development of human cancers. However, the relationship between the expression of MAGE-A9 and clinicopathological characteristics in human laryngeal carcinoma remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the expression of MAGE-A9, and to evaluate the clinical significance of its expression in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).

methodsQuantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were performed to characterize the expression of MAGE-A9 in LSCC tissues and tumor-adjacent normal tissues. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the prognosis of patients with LSCC.

resultsThe expression of MAGE-A9 was significantly higher in LSCC than in tumor-adjacent normal tissues. Cytoplasmic expression of MAGE-A9 was detected in 70 of 123 (56.9%) LSCC specimens. Levels of MAGE-A9 in LSCC were related to histopathological grade (P = 0.024). Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analysis revealed that MAGE-A9 expression level and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors of LSCC (P = 0.005; P = 0.001, respectively).

conclusionsOur study suggests that MAGE-A9 expression is a prognostic biomarker for LSCC patients. High expression of MAGE-A9 indicates unfavorable survival outcome in LSCC patients.
