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

aim of the studyWe determined the expression of beclin-1 in gallbladder carcinoma, analyzed the association of beclin-1 expression with clinicopathologic parameters and prognosis, and investigated the relationship between microvessel density and beclin-1 expression. MATERIAL AND

methodsTissue microarray blocks containing 118 primary gallbladder tumor sites were used. Clinical parameters and prognostic data were collected. Expression of beclin-1 in these specimens was analyzed by immunohistochemical studies and confirmed by Western blotting. Microvessel density was counted using immunohistochemical staining.

resultsThe overall rate of over-expression of beclin-1 was 68.1% (80 of 118). Over-expression of beclin-1 was significantly associated with TNM stage and liver metastasis. Over-expression of beclin-1 has no significant relationship with age, sex, lymphatic metastasis, or tumor differentiation. Based on the Kaplan-Meier method, over-expression of beclin-1 showed no significant difference for the overall survival rate in patients with gallbladder cancer. The multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that beclin-1 was not an independent prognostic factor for gallbladder cancer.

conclusionsBeclin-1 might play roles in the development of gallbladder cancer. However, beclin-1 may not be an effective prognostic factor for gallbladder cancer.
