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

introductionThe aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of CtBP2 in prostate cancer and to determine its relationship with clinicopathologic parameters. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe expression of CtBP2 in 119 prostate cancer tissues and 41 normal tissues was examined by qPCR and Western blot analysis, and the results were correlated with clinicopathologic parameters.

resultsCtBP2 expression in prostate cancer tissues was higher than that in normal samples. CtBP2 overexpression was closely correlated with serum prostatic specific antigen (PSA) (p = 0.018), advanced tumor stage (T3) (p = 0.025), higher Gleason scores (p = 0.019), positive extraprostatic extension (p = 0.012), positive vascular invasion (p = 0.011) and perineural invasion (p = 0.035). However, no significant association was found between CtBP2 abnormal expression and other parameters, including age (p = 0.776), positive lymph node (p = 0.872) and positive surgical margin (p = 0.37). Moreover, CtBP2 overexpression was significantly associated with poor clinical outcome of prostate cancer (p = 0.0168).

conclusionsCtBP2 is overexpressed in prostate cancer, and its increased expression is closely associated with tumor progression and the outcome of prostate cancer.
