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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between calcium-binding protein S100A8 and S100A9 expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and patients' clinical features.

methodsFifty-two NSCLC patients who underwent surgery at Zhejiang Hospital from February 2014 to January 2016 were included in this study. Calcium-binding protein S100A8 and S100A9 expression patterns in cancer and para-cancer tissues were examined by immunohistochemistry assay. The correlation between calcium-binding protein S100A8 and S100A9 expression patterns and NSCLC patients' clinical characteristics, including age, gender, tumor node metastasis stage, and pathology type, were evaluated.

resultsS100A8 and S100A9 were generally expressed on the cytoplasm and nucleus of NSCLC cells, mainly located in the cytoplasm, stained with brown particles, and distributed evenly. The positive expression rates of S100A8 and S100A9 in cancer tissues were 71.2% and 76.9%, respectively, which were significantly higher than in para-cancer tissues at 11.5% and 19.2%, respectively, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). S100A8 and S100A9 positive expression was associated with tumor differentiation degree (P < 0.05) but were not correlated with age, gender, smoking history, tumor diameter, pathology type, tumor node metastasis stage, or pleural effusion (P

conclusionS100A8 and S100A9 positive expression in cancer tissues was significantly higher than in para-cancer tissues and was correlated with tumor differentiation, which may be a potential marker for poor prognosis.
