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

BACKGROUND Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a worldwide concern. This study looked at the relationship between the expression of differential proteins and the clinicopathological data and survival rate of ESCC patients to identify potential tumor markers for the growth and metastasis of ESCC. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 162 patients who underwent surgical excision for management of ESCC. Fresh ESCC tissue and adjacent normal tissue specimens were collected. Protein expressions were detected by western blotting. The expression of Hsp27 and P38MAPK were detected by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded primary tissue specimens. RESULTS The rate of positive Hsp27 and P38MAPK expression in ESCC tissue were higher than in normal esophageal tissue (p<0.05). The expression of P38MAPK was related to the depth of infiltration (p<0.05). The expression of Hsp27 was correlated with lymph node metastasis (p<0.05), but not with age, depth of infiltration, or tumor size. ROC were plotted to estimate the significance of the diagnosis: for Hsp27, AUC=0.735 (p<0.05), for P38MAPK, AUC=0.882 (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The expression of Hsp27 and P38MAPK plays a role in ESCC development. Hsp27 and P38MAPK could be used as prognostic factors in ESCC.
