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

Proliferation-differentiation balance of epithelial cells is regulated by Krüppel-like factors (KLF) 4 and 5, and the unbalanced expression relates to carcinoma progression. However, little is known about the expression and role in oral carcinomas. This study examined expression of KLF4 and KLF 5 in the carcinomas by immunohistochemistry (n = 67) and the involvement in proliferation and differentiation of carcinoma cells. KLF4 was detected in keratinizing carcinoma cells and KLF5 in non-keratinizing cells. KLF4 staining declined in the patient with lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05) and in parallel with the histological dedifferentiation (P = 0.09). Exogenous overexpression of KLF4 arranged cells in a cobble-like structure with desmosomes and KLF5 elongated cells like fibroblasts without desmosomes. KLF4 suppressed fibronectin expression, and KLF5 down-regulated and degraded E-cadherin. The proliferation was not affected by KLFs. Thus, down-regulation of KLF4 and up-regulation of KLF5 may stimulate oral carcinoma progression through the dedifferentiation of carcinoma cells.
