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 current study aimed to characterize SNF5 expression and investigate the relationship between SNF5 and clinicopathological features in skull base chordoma. 48 patients diagnosed with skull base chordoma were enrolled in this study. Tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry were performed to evaluate the expression of SNF5 in skull base chordoma. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to assess survival. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to identify risk factors affecting patient survival. The H-scores for cytoplasmic SNF5 ranged from 124.47 to 254.52. Low expression of SNF5 was correlated with shorter overall survival (OS) (p = 0.021). Patients with age > 55 years old had shorter progression free survival (PFS) and OS times than patients whose age ≤ 55 years old (p = 0.005 and 0.003, respectively). The gross total resection group showed longer PFS than the non-gross total resection group (p = 0.024). Females showed shorter PFS times than males (p = 0.033). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that age, extent of resection and sex were independent prognostic factors for PFS (p = 0.010, 0.013 and 0.042, respectively). Age was an independent prognostic factor for OS (p = 0.010). Our study indicate that low expression of SNF5 is associated with poor prognosis in skull base chordoma.
