Immunohistochemical expression of sulfhydryl oxidase (QSOX1) in pediatric medulloblastomas.
Article in Diagnostic pathology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundMedulloblastoma is a malignant, invasive embryonal tumor of the cerebellum and accounts for 20% of intracranial tumors in children. QSOX1, whose functions include formation of disulphide bridges, which are needed for correct protein folding and stability, formation of the extracellular matrix, regulation of the redox status and cell cycle control, appears to be involved in apoptosis in pathological states such as cancer. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of QSOX1 in medulloblastomas and nonneoplastic cerebellum.
methodsHistology blocks of pediatric medulloblastomas were separated and two representative areas of the tumors and non-neoplastic cerebellum samples were used to construct tissue microarrays (TMAs) that were stained with an anti-QSOX1 antibody, and the slides were read using image analysis software.
resultsQSOX1 immunoexpression was observed in the non-neoplastic cerebellum samples and the medulloblastoma samples. There was no statistically significant relationship between QSOX1 immunopositivity in the medulloblastoma samples and the clinical and pathological variables.
conclusionsAlthough QSOX1 did not prove useful for stratifying patients into risk groups, tumor cells and the fibrillar extracellular matrix were positive for this marker, indicating that this enzyme may be involved in the pathogenesis of medulloblastoma.
