Expression and prognostic value of SFRP1 and β-catenin in patients with glioblastoma.
Article in Oncology letters, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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 roles of secreted frizzled-related protein-1 (SFRP1) and β-catenin in human cancer have been widely studied, and it has recently been demonstrated that these proteins are associated with numerous human carcinomas. However, their clinical significance in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has not been examined. The current study aimed to analyze the correlation between the expression of SFRP1 and β-catenin, and clinicopathological characteristics in GBM patients. The expression of SFRP1 and β-catenin was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 113 samples of GBM and 40 normal brain tissues. Compared with normal brain tissues, GBM tissues exhibited significantly lower expression of SFRP1, and higher expression of β-catenin (both P<0.05). A Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with positive SFRP1 expression had a significantly longer overall survival (OS) time relative to those with negative SFRP1 expression (P<0.000), and that patients with positive β-catenin expression had a shorter OS time than those with negative β-catenin expression (P<0.000). A multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that adjuvant treatment, SFRP1 expression and β-catenin expression were independent prognostic factors for OS (P<0.000, P=0.008 and P=0.001, respectively) in patients with GBM. The current data suggest that expression of SFRP1 and β-catenin may be considered significant prognostic indicators for patients with GBM.
