ITF-2B protein levels are correlated with favorable prognosis in patients with colorectal carcinomas.

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
The majority of sporadic forms of colorectal carcinomas is characterized by deregulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling early in colorectal carcinogenesis. As a consequence, ITF-2B protein levels are increased in adenomas of these patients. However, ITF-2B protein levels are strongly reduced with increasing carcinoma stages, suggesting that reduction of ITF-2B protein is required for progression of adenomas to colorectal carcinomas. To find out if ITF-2B protein levels are correlated with the survival of patients with colorectal carcinomas, a tissue microarray containing samples from 213 colorectal carcinomas (T-categories T2 and T3) with corresponding survival information was stained with an ITF-2B antibody. In addition, we analyzed if detection of ITF-2B in microsatellite instable and microsatellite stable carcinomas as well as in colorectal carcinomas with KRAS mutations is correlated with survival. Detection of cytoplasmic ITF-2B protein was associated with better overall and progression free survival of patients with colorectal carcinomas (P=0.033 and 0.024, respectively). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed an increased risk to suffer from poor overall survival and recurrent disease if no cytoplasmic ITF-2B was detectable (HR=1.91; P=0.033 and HR=1.75; P=0.033, respectively). Similarly, patients with MSS carcinomas had a better overall survival, if they showed cytoplasmic positivity for ITF-2B (P=0.013). Remarkably, patients with colorectal carcinomas carrying KRAS mutations had a better overall and progression free survival rate if the carcinomas were positive for cytoplasmic ITF-2B (HR=4.71; P=0.002 and HR=2.57; P=0.024, respectively). These data suggest that cytoplasmic protein levels of ITF-2B could be used as a prognostic marker for patients with colorectal carcinomas.
