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 The coiled-coil domain-containing proteins have been shown to have a series of functions in biological synthesis. Recent studies have found that CCDC34 is highly expressed in bladder cancer, but the underlying molecular mechanisms still remain unclear. Therefore, we performed the present study to assess the expression of the coiled-coil domain-containing protein 34 (CCDC34) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. We also explored the relationships between CCDC34 expression and clinicopathologic characteristics, tumor angiogenesis, and prognosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS We detected the expressions of CCDC34, VEGF, and MVD by immunohistochemical technique in 100 cases of ESCC and 80 cases of corresponding paracarcinomatous normal tissues. The relationship between CCDC34 expression and clinicopathologic characteristics, tumor angiogenesis, and prognosis were also explored. RESULTS The expression of CCDC34 protein was obviously increased in ESCC tissues, which was significantly correlated with sex (p=0.038), TNM stage (p=0.003), and lymphatic metastasis (p=0.024). In addition, we found that the expression of CCDC34 was an independent prognostic factor for ESCC patients. The overexpression of CCDC34 protein in ESCC was associated with tumor progression, angiogenesis, and poor survival. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that CCDC34 is overexpressed in ESCC and can be used as an independent parameter for indicating the poor prognosis of ESCC patients, suggesting that CCDC34 might be a new potential therapeutic target for ESCC patients in the future.
