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

backgroundGallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly lethal disease and the most common biliary tract malignant tumor with poor prognosis. Accumulating evidence indicates that cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) is overexpressed in several malignancies and has a crucial role in the development of cancer. However, its expression and function in GBC are unclear. The aim of this study was to explore CD44 expression and its role in GBC. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe expression of CD44 was measured by immunohistochemistry. Tissue microarray analysis was used to confirm the relationship between CD44 expression and clinical outcomes of GBC patients. EDU assay, colony formation assay, cell migration and invasion assay were performed to detect the functions of CD44 in GBC-SD and NOZ transfected with si-RNA.

resultsCD44 was overexpressed and associated with poor outcomes in GBC patients. The univariate and multivariate analyses confirmed that elevated CD44 was an independent prognostic factor for the OS of GBC patients. Silencing CD44 could suppress the GBC cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro, as well as attenuated cancer stem cell functions.

conclusionCD44 markedly correlated with aggressive tumor behaviors and contributed to the progression of GBC, which could represent a novel prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for GBC patients.
