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

Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) recognizes bacterial flagellin. Increased cytoplasmic and nuclear expression of some TLRs has been previously reported in dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus and various malignant lesions in association with survival and metastasis. We assessed nuclear expression of TLR5 in Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma (n = 94) by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescent staining. Nuclear expression was observed in the majority of studied lesions with high variation in the proportion of positive nuclei. Expression in lymph node metastases was significantly higher than in esophageal lesions (p < 0.05), except for intestinal metaplasia and low-grade dysplasia. Furthermore, nuclear expression of TLR5 was associated with the presence of lymph node metastases (p = 0.033). In conclusion, we report nuclear TLR5 expression in Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma. Abundance of positive nuclei in association with lymph node metastases suggests that TLR5 is involved in the pathogenesis and dissemination of esophageal adenocarcinoma through as-yet-uncharacterized mechanisms.
