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

backgroundProtein phosphatase 1 α (PP1A) is an enzyme intimately associated with cell cycle, the over expression of which has been demonstrated in glioblastoma (GBM). Further, the nuclear expression of PP1A has been shown to be highly specific to GBM. In addition, PP1A has been shown to be a connecting molecule in the p53 containing GBM sub network. In view of these, we evaluated the prognostic relevance of PP1A.

methodsGBM tissues were examined for protein expression of PP1A by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Nuclear expression of PP1A was scored in all tumor tissue samples. Survival analyses were performed by Cox-Regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with Log Rank tests. IDH1, ATRX and p53 IHC and stratification of all GBM cases were performed and subgroup specific evaluation of nuclear PP1A correlation with overall and progression free survival was performed.

resultsPP1A protein expression showed no correlation with prognosis in all cases of GBM or on stratification based on IDH1 or ATRX expression. However on p53 stratification nuclear PP1A expression emerged as strong independent predictor of poor overall survival only in p53 positive GBMs both in univariate and multivariate analysis.

conclusionsWhile PP1A expression uniquely associates with poor prognosis only in p53 expressing GBMs, there is a notable absence of such correlation in p53 negative GBMs; thus skewing the overall relation of this molecule with prognosis in GBM. PP1A emerging as a strong prognostic marker in p53 expressing GBMs, enables us to foresee this molecule as a potential therapeutic target.
