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

objectiveMetastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1), a new gene associated with primary and metastatic colon cancer, promotes tumor cell growth as well as the development of distant metastasis. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of MACC1 protein in colon cancer and its association with clinicopathological parameters and postoperative liver metastasis. MATERIALS AND

methodsExpression of MACC1 protein was detected immunohistochemically in paraffin-embedded specimens of 96 cases of colon cancer. Relationship between MACC1 protein expression and clinicopathological parameters, postoperative liver metastasis were analyzed.

resultsImmunohistochemistry examination showed that MACC1 protein expression was significantly more abundant in colon cancer tissues than in normal colon tissues (P = 0.038), Positive rate of MACC1 expression in colon cancer tissues was increased significantly in patients with lymph node metastases (P = 0.001) and higher T stages (P = 0.006). Postoperative live metastasis-free survival period was significantly longer in negative MACC1 expression group than that of positive MACC1 expression group (36.4 ± 2.85 vs. 28.6 ± 2.02 months, P = 0.014). Multivariate analysis showed that MACC1 expression level is an independent prognostic factor for postoperative live metastasis-free survival (95% confidence interval [CI] =1.32-3.38, P = 0.006).

conclusionsOur results suggest that MACC1 expression level might play an important role in colon cancer invasion and MACC1 expression level is an independent biomarker for postoperative liver metastasis in patients with colon cancer.
