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

The present study aimed to investigate the associations of tumor inhibitor of growth 4 (ING4) with tumor cell proliferation and microvessel density (MVD) in human glioma. Semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to detect the level of ING4 expression in normal brain tissues and glioma tissues of different pathological grades. The cell proliferation index (PI) and the level of MVD were detected using IHC, facilitating the analysis of the correlation between ING4 and cellular proliferation and MVD in human glioma. The expression levels of ING4 mRNA and protein were significantly lower in the glioma tissues compared with the normal brain tissues (P<0.05) and decreased as the pathological grade of the glioma tissue increased (P<0.05). PI was reduced in the ING4 protein positively expressed (ING4
