Cytoplasmic CD133 expression correlates with histologic differentiation and is a significant prognostic factor in extrahepatic bile duct cancer and gallbladder cancer.

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.
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
Prominin-1 (CD133) is one of the most important stem cell markers among various malignant tumor types, but the clinicopathological significance of CD133 expression in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma remains controversial. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports on extrahepatic bile duct cancer (EHBDCA) and gallbladder cancer (GBCA). The present study examined the clinicopathological significance of CD133 expression in EHBDCA and GBCA. Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate CD133 expression in resected specimens obtained from 82 patients with EHBDCA and GBCA, and this expression was compared with the clinicopathological parameters and survival data of the patients. Cytoplasmic CD133 expression was identified in 20 patients, and its incidence was significantly associated with histopathological grade (P=0.035), pT factor (P=0.020) and recurrence (P=0.046). Survival analysis revealed that cytoplasmic CD133 expression in patients was significantly associated with a poorer overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) compared with those without cytoplasmic expression (5-year OS rate, 11.6% vs. 39.1%; 3-year RFS rate, 12.5% vs. 42.0%, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that cytoplasmic CD133 expression was an independent prognostic factor for OS and RFS (P=0.0036 and P<0.0001, respectively). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating that cytoplasmic CD133 expression was associated with histologic differentiation, cancer progression, recurrence and poor prognosis in EHBDCA and GBCA. CD133 expression may be a useful marker for clinical prognosis in patients with EHBDCA and GBCA.
