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

The MYB gene codes for the c-Myb transcription factor maintaining proliferation of colon epithelial progenitors, thus controlling colon development and homeostasis. This gene is overexpressed in early phases of colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of c-Myb in CRC tissue samples both at the messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels and to evaluate their associations with clinicopathological characteristics in a group of 108 CRC patients. Statistically significant negative association was found between the frequency of the c-Myb-positive tumor cells assessed by immunohistochemistry and the presence of distant metastases (p < 0.01) but not tumor differentiation, tumor stage, lymph node involvement, vascular invasion, tumor localization, age, and gender of the patients. Although the c-Myb protein level in the tumor tissue correlated with its mRNA level, no significant association between MYB mRNA and any clinicopathological characteristics was observed. We conclude that albeit overexpression of c-Myb is considered as an important factor contributing to early phases of CRC tumorigenesis, it may later have negative effect on tumor cell dissemination as observed recently in breast cancer as well. Further studies are required to explain the role of c-Myb during formation of CRC distant metastases.
