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

CBX7 is a polycomb protein that participates in the formation of polycomb repressive complex 1. Apart from few exceptions, CBX7 expression is lost in human malignant neoplasias and a clear correlation between its downregulated expression and a cancer aggressiveness and poor prognosis has been observed. These findings indicate a critical role of CBX7 in cancer progression. Consistently, CBX7 is able to differentially regulate crucial genes involved in cancer progression and in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, as osteopontin and E-cadherin. Recent evidences indicate a role of CBX7 also in the modulation of response to therapy. In conclusion, CBX7 represents an important prognostic factor, whose loss of expression in general indicates a bad prognosis and a progression towards a fully malignant phenotype.
