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

purposeCaveolin is an essential constituent of caveolae and has many biological functions. Expression of caveolin-1 in cancer cells was reported to be a prognostic marker in several types of cancers, the prognostic significance of its expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) has not been investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological significance of expression by CAFs in lung adenocarcinoma.

methodsWe examined caveolin-1 expression in both CAFs and cancer cells in stage I invasive lung adenocarcinoma (n = 412) and analyzed the relationship between the expression and clinicopathological factors.

resultsCaveolin-1 expression by CAFs and cancer cells was observed in 12.1% and 7.8% of adenocarcinomas, respectively. Tumors with caveolin-1-positive CAFs had vascular and pleural invasion significantly more frequently than those with caveolin-1-negative CAF (p < 0.05). This was also the cases with tumors with caveolin-1-positive cancer cells (p < 0.01). Caveolin-1 expression by CAFs and that by cancer cells were significant predictors of shorter recurrence-free survival (p < 0.001). Caveolin-1 expression by CAFs and cancer cells was found in 25% and 30% of solid predominant subtype, respectively, but only 9.2% and 2.7% of non-solid predominant subtype, respectively. The frequency of cases with caveolin-1-positive CAFs or cancer cells was significantly higher in the solid predominant subtype than in non-solid predominant subtype (p < 0.001).

conclusionsOur current results highlight the prognostic importance of caveolin-1 expression by CAFs in stage I lung adenocarcinoma and provide new insights into the biological significance of caveolin-1 in the tumor microenvironment, especially in microenvironment of solid predominant adenocarcinoma.
