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

backgroundHsp90-beta was investigated as prognostic factor because of its apparent association with tumorigenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of Hsp90-beta in lung cancer patients, to analyze the relationship with respect to the clinicopathological features and to assess whether Hsp90-beta as a potential serum marker for lung cancer.

methodsExpression of Hsp90-beta was examined using immunohistochemistry, in-situ hybridization, western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Sensitivities and specificities for Hsp90-beta serum test were determined using receiver operator characteristic curve and cutoff was defined based on 95% and 85% sensitivities.

resultsLung cancer tissues exhibited higher expression of Hsp90-beta than the normal tissues (P < 0.05) and the serum Hsp90-beta of lung cancer patients also exhibited higher level than control groups (P < 0.05). Moreover, increased serum Hsp90-beta was significantly associated with the pathological grade and clinical stage of lung cancer patients (P < 0.05). Using receiver operator characteristic curve analysis, the cutoffs for distinguishing lung cancer from normal and benign groups were 1.155 and 1.158 ng/ml respectively. The sensitivities of Hsp90-beta for distinguishing lung cancer from normal and benign groups were 98.77% and 95.9%, and specificities were 88.33% and 72.7%.

conclusionUp-regulation of serum Hsp90-beta was associated with pathological grade and clinical stage of lung cancer patients, which indicated that it could be considered molecular biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer.
