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

Reticulocalbin (RCN) family members could play oncogenic roles in human malignancies and facilitate tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. However, the expression pattern and potential function of Reticulocalbin 2 (RCN2) in colorectal cancer has not been addressed yet. In the present study, we investigated the protein expression of RCN2 by immunohistochemistry assay, and analyzed its association with tumor progression, recurrence and prognosis in 326 cases of patients. Results suggested that the expression of RCN2 was up-regulated in colorectal cancer compared with paired adjacent nontumor specimens. RCN2 expression was closely related to tumor size and the depth of invasion. Kaplan-Meier analysis proved that RCN2 was associated with both disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer. Moreover, cox's proportional hazards analysis showed that high RCN2 expression was an independent prognostic marker of poor outcome. Consistently, overexpressing RCN2 promoted CRC cell proliferation both
