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

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and colorectal cancer (CRC).In this prospective study, patients with CRC undergoing primary surgery and healthy subjects (control group) were enrolled from July 2013 to December 2014. The serum HMGB1 concentration and HMGB1 mRNA expression were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to determine HMGB1, pERK, and c-inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2 (c-IAP2) protein expression levels in the cancer tissues.A total 144 patients with CRC and 50 healthy subjects underwent serum HMGB1 testing. Resected specimens of 50 patients were used for HMGB1 mRNA and protein expression analyses. Mean serum HMGB1 level in the patients with CRC was higher than that of the control group (8.42 μg/L vs 1.79 μg/L, P < .05). Mean serum HMGB1 level in the patients with CRC with distant metastasis was significantly higher than that of the controls (13.32 μg/L vs 7.37 μg/L, P < .05). The HMGB1 mRNA and protein expression levels in the CRC tissues were significantly higher than those in the adjacent normal mucosa. HMGB1 protein expression positively correlated with the lymph node metastasis. There were positive correlations between HMGB1 and c-IAP2 (r = 0.457, P < .05), HMGB1 and pERK (r = 0.461, P < .05), as well as pERK and c-IAP2 (r = 0.399, P < .05).HMGB1 expression in CRC correlates with distant and lymph node metastasis. It may inhibit apoptosis by inducing activation of pERK and c-IAP2.
