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

backgroundSignal transducer of activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and cyclinD1 are overexpressed in various human cancers, and their overexpression positively correlates to tumor progression and poor prognosis. However, the clinical significance of dual high expression of these two proteins in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has yet to be determined.

methodsThe expression of STAT3 and cyclinD1 was analyzed in tissue microarrays containing tumor and adjacent tissue samples from 82 patients who had undergone curative resection for histologically proven ESCC. Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to analyze the prognostic value of STAT3 and cyclinD1 expression.

resultsWe discovered that expressions of STAT3 and cyclinD1 in cancer tissues were significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues. High expression of STAT3 and cyclinD1 was associated with malignant behaviors. Moreover, the expression of STAT3 was positively associated with the expression of cyclinD1. High STAT3 or cyclinD1 expression alone was associated with lower overall survival (OS) rates. Furthermore, dual high expression of STAT3 and cyclinD1 expression predict even worse survival outcome in both univariate and multivariate analysis.

conclusionSTAT3 and cyclinD1 correlate with more aggressive tumor behavior in ESCC. When STAT3 and cyclinD1 are considered together, they serve as effective prognostic markers in patients with surgically resected ESCC.
