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

Protocadherin10 (PCDH10), a member of the nonclustered protocadherin family, functions as a tumor suppressor in many cancers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression level and prognostic value of PCDH10 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the expression level of PCDH10 in HCC tissues and adjacent nontumor tissues. The association of PCDH10 expression with clinicopathological features of patients was evaluated by chi-squared test. Overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Besides, the patient prognosis was also evaluated by Cox regression analysis.PCDH10 expression was significantly lower in HCC tissues than that in adjacent nontumor tissues (P = .000). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with lower PCDH10 expression had a worse overall survival. Moreover, PCDH10 expression level was associated tumor size (P = .005), tumor node metastasis stage (P = .002), smoking status (P = .000), and drinking status (P = .005). Multivariate analysis showed that the expression of PCDH10 (P = .000; hazard ratio = 4.784; 95% confidence interval: 2.550-8.977) was an independently associated with poor overall survival rates, as well as smoking status and drinking status.Our findings indicated that the decreased expression of PCDH10 was closely associated with poor prognosis of HCC patients. It might be considered as a valuable biomarker for HCC.
