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

Hypermethylated in cancer 1 (HIC1) is a putative suppressor gene, cooperating with TP53 in the regulation of apoptosis. The promoter site of this gene contains CpG islands susceptible to methylation. Altered methylation leads to the silencing of HIC1. Persistent loss of HIC1 function reflects the attenuation of proapoptotic characteristics of TP53 and may constitute the background for carcinogenesis. Altered methylation profiles along with diminished expression of HIC1 were documented in a number of solid neoplasms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of the HIC1 gene in laryngeal carcinoma. RNA was extracted from samples of laryngeal cancer and corresponding healthy tissues of 21 patients with advanced laryngeal cancer (T3-T4). The amount of RNA (cDNA) was evaluated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction with GADPH as the reference gene. Data demonstrated that HIC1 expression was significantly reduced in laryngeal cancer tissues. The relative expression of HIC1 was found to be ~40% lower in tumor samples compared to that in healthy controls. The median tumor/normal tissue ratio for HIC1 was 0.615. These results suggest that low HIC1 expression may be associated with neoplastic transformation in the larynx.
