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

purposeExpression of the carboxyl PTHrP region of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a positive prognostic indicator in women with lung cancer, but amino PTHrP is a negative indicator in other lung cancer patients. This project investigated whether PTHrP could be expressed as predominantly amino PTHrP or carboxyl PTHrP in individual lung carcinomas. It also assessed domain-specific effects on cancer progression and patient survival.

methodsPTHrP immunoreactivities were analyzed versus survival in a human lung cancer tissue microarray (TMA). Growth was compared in athymic mice for isogenic lung carcinoma xenografts differing in expression of amino and carboxyl PTHrP domains.

resultsIn the TMA, 33 of 99 patient tumors expressed only one PTHrP domain, while 54 expressed both. By Cox regression, the hazard ratio for cancer-specific mortality (95% confidence interval) was 2.6 (1.28-5.44) for amino PTHrP (P = 0.008) and 0.6 (0-2.58) for carboxyl PTHrP (P = 0.092). Xenografts of H358 lung adenocarcinoma cells that overexpressed amino PTHrP grew twice as fast as isogenic low PTHrP tumors in athymic mice, but growth of tumors expressing amino plus carboxyl PTHrP was not significantly different than growth of the control tumors. In summary, the presence of amino PTHrP signifies worse prognosis in lung cancer patients. In mouse xenografts, this effect was abrogated if carboxyl PTHrP was also present.

conclusionAmino PTHrP and carboxyl PTHrP can vary independently in different lung carcinomas. Carboxyl PTHrP may temper the stimulatory effect of amino PTHrP on cancer progression.
