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

This study aims to identify new upregulated genes related to secretory or membranous proteins to help detect esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). First, we performed microarray-based screening of esophageal tumors from both N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine- and arecoline-induced F344 rats and seventeen human ESCC specimens. Candidate genes were validated by quantitative PCR (qPCR) and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of ESCC tissues. Among the paired cancer and adjacent normal tissues from 14 ESCC patients, 10 pairs (71.4%) had overexpression of ATP1A1 (ATPase Na+/K+ transporting alpha 1 polypeptide) by qPCR (P = 0.0052). ATP1A1 protein expression was re-confirmed by tissue arrays in 243 ESCC tissues and 126 adjacent normal tissues and by ELISA in 78 serum specimens of ESCC patients. ATP1A1 was 12.3 times (adjusted odds ratio=12.3, 95% CI = 7.2-21.0) more likely to be overexpressed in cancer tissues than in normal tissues. ATP1A1 expression was also correlated to tumor stage. Patients with higher serum ATP1A1 levels had a 2.9-fold (95% CI = 1.1-7.4) risk of late-stage disease (stages III-IV vs. I-II). Downregulation of ATP1A1 expression inhibited the migration and invasion ability of ESCC cell lines in vitro. We concluded that the overexpression of ATP1A1 is strongly associated with the presence and severity of ESCC.
