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

Testes-specific protease 50 (TSP50) is normally expressed in the testes and is overexpressed in various types of human cancers, including breast cancer, colorectal carcinoma and laryngocarcinoma. However, little has been reported on the association between TSP50 and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aimed to detect TSP50 expression in 198 strict follow-up cases of paired NSCLC and 15 cases of normal lung parenchymal specimens using immunohistochemical staining. The expression levels of TSP50 were then correlated with the clinicopathological factors of NSCLC to assess its potential diagnostic and prognostic value. The relationship between TSP50 expression and the clinicopathological parameters of NSCLC was evaluated using χ
