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

Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) as a prognostic marker remains unclear in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we studied NF-κB-p65 (p65) expression and phosphorylated NF-κB-p105 (p-p105) expression in NSCLC and correlated the finding with overall survival (OS) and clinicopathological features. A total of 186 archival samples from patients with surgically resectable NSCLC were probed with p65 and p-p105 (Ser 932). The p65-positive expression and p-p105-positive expression were defined as distinct nuclear p65 and cytoplasmic p-p105 labelling in at least 1% of tumour cells, respectively. The positive staining of p65 alone, p-p105 alone and co-expression of p65 and p-p105 were observed in 61 (32.8%), 90 (48.4%) and 35 (18.8%) patients, respectively. Co-expression of p65 and p-p105 but not of either p65 or p-p105 alone was associated with a poor prognosis. Patients with co-expression of p65 and p-p105 had a shorter OS than others, median OS 26.5 months versus 64.1 months, HR 1.85 (95% CI: 1.18-2.91), P = 0.007. There was no statistically significant association between clinicopathological characteristics and either p65 or p-p105 alone or co-expression of p65 and p-p105. This indicates that co-expression of p65 and p-p105 was a poor prognostic factor, and pathologic studies of NF-κB expression could include multiple pathway components in NSCLC.
