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

backgroundTumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) has been reported to be highly expressed in many tumor tissues, but it is still of value to detect its expression in patients with colon cancer and to clarify its clinical significance.

objectivesTo study the expression and clinical significance of TRAF6 in patients with colon cancer. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 135 patients with colon cancer who underwent surgery at our hospital from February 2008 to March 2013 were selected. The expression levels of TRAF6 protein in tumor and paracancerous tissues were detected with the immunohistochemical method to evaluate their clinical significance.

resultsThe positive expression rate of TRAF6 in tumor tissues was 66.7%, which was significantly higher than in normal paracancerous tissues (18.5%). The positive expression rate of TRAF6 was significantly correlated with Dukes' staging, degree of differentiation, and lymphatic metastasis (P < 0.05), but not gender or age (P > 0.05). The expression level of TRAF6 was negatively correlated with the 5-year survival rate; patients with high TRAF6 expression levels had significantly decreased survival compared to those with low levels (P < 0.05).

conclusionsTRAF6 plays an important role in the onset of colon cancer; therefore, drugs targeting it may have great clinical significance in the treatment of this disease.
