Human mutL homolog 1 expression characteristic and prognostic effect on patients with sporadic colorectal cancer.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between aberrant human mutL homolog 1 (hMLH1) expression and clinicopathological parameters of patients with sporadic colorectal cancer, and to explore the prognostic effect of aberrant hMLH1 expression in these patients. The relationship was measured by chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. Survival analysis was performed with Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression model to measure 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates. Totally 17.13% of the patients with sporadic colorectal cancer showed aberrant nuclear staining for hMLH1 expression. Aberrant hMLH1 expression was related with tumor pathologic types, tumor location and TNM staging (P<0.05) in the patients with sporadic colorectal cancer. Cox regression analysis indicated important prognostic factors were age (RR: 1.021, 95% CI: 1.003-1.039, P=0.023), mucinous adenocarcinoma (RR: 2.603, 95% CI: 1.705-3.974, P<0.0001), TNM staging (RR: 2.071, 95% CI: 1.170-3.666, P=0.012), lymphangion invasion (RR: 2.013, 95% CI: 1.227-3.303, P=0.006) and aberrant hMLH1 expression (RR: 0.414, 95% CI: 0.216-0.791, P=0.008). Consequently, hMLH1 expression level is related with some clinicopathologic features. Aberrant hMLH1 expression plays a significant part in prognosis for patients with sporadic colorectal cancer and it will promisingly become an independent prognostic factor.
