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

Based on their overexpression and important roles in progression and therapy-resistance in malignant diseases, the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family (IAP) members, survivin and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), represent attractive candidates for targeted therapy. The present study investigated the prognostic and biological relevance of survivin and XIAP in esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Survivin and XIAP expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry using tissue microarrays containing 120 ESCC and 90 EAC samples as well as the corresponding non-neoplastic esophageal mucosa samples. IAP expression levels were then correlated to clinicopathological parameters and overall survival to identify any associations. In addition, esophageal cancer cell lines were treated with the survivin inhibitor YM155, and the XIAP inhibitors Birinapant and GDC-0152
