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

Cullin 4B (Cul4B), a scaffold protein that assembles the ubiquitin ligase complex, is involved in a wide variety of physiological and developmental processes, such as cell cycle progression, DNA damage response and gene expression regulation. Cul4B is overexpressed in various solid tumors. However, the prognostic value and role of Cul4B in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is largely unknown. The present study demonstrated that Cul4B was overexpressed in 21 (26.6%) of 79 patients with intrahepatic CCA, and in 40 (28.6%) of 140 patients with extrahepatic CCA (EHCC). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis suggested that Cul4B expression is an unfavorable prognostic factor in EHCC patients. Notably, Cul4B and epidermal growth factor receptor expression define a subset of CCA patients with poor prognosis.
