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

High expression of B-cell specific Moloney leukemia virus insert site 1 (Bmi-1) and peptidyl arginine deiminase IV (PADI4) is associated with esophageal carcinoma. However, few studies have investigated the association between the Bmi-1 and PADI4 genes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of Bmi-1 and PADI4 and identify the association between the Bmi-1 and PADI4 genes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues. Bmi-1 and PADI4 gene expression levels were measured using immunohistochemistry, western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction in ESCC tissues from 86 patients who had not received pre-operative chemoradiation. The results revealed that the Bmi-1 and PADI4 genes had increased expression in carcinoma tissues compared with pericarcinous tissue (P<0.05). Bmi-1 gene expression was revealed to be associated with differentiation degree, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05), but had no association with gender, age or depth of invasion (P>0.05). The expression of PADI4 was associated with clinical stage, depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05), but was not associated with gender, age or differentiation degree (P>0.05). In addition, there was a positive association between Bmi-1 and PADI4 gene expression in ESCC (P<0.05). These results indicated that Bmi-1 and PADI4 positively regulate carcinogenesis and progression of ESCC.
