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

Mounting evidence has demonstrated that PPM1D participates in the development and progression of a wide variety of tumors. However, its precise roles in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain under investigation. Here, UALCAN, an interactive web-portal to perform the expression analyses of PPM1D using TCGA gene expression data, and PPM1D high expression was exhibited in primary esophageal cancer. Further investigation revealed that PPM1D expression was obviously higher in ESCC tissues than in normal tissues (P < 0.01), which was consistent with the results from real-time qPCR and Western blotting in ESCC tissues and paired normal esophageal tissues. Besides, PPM1D expression was closely correlated with TNM staging, tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01), but not related to the patients' gender and age (P > 0.05). Notably, PPM1D expression in metastatic ESCC patients was markedly higher than that in non-metastatic ESCC patients (P < 0.01), and the ESCC patients with high PPM1D expression predicted poor prognosis. Multivariate assay demonstrated that PPM1D and lymph node metastasis were considered as independent prognostic factors for the ESCC patients. These findings suggest PPM1D plays a pivotal important role in onset and progression of ESCC, and may be a new biomarker for metastasis and prognosis of the ESCC patients.
