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

backgroundMatrix metalloproteinase 19 (MMP19) is a member of zinc-dependent endopeptidases, which have been involved in various physiological and pathological processes. Its expression has been demonstrated in some types of cancers, but the clinical significance of MMP19 in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been reported. Thus, we aimed to analyze the clinical significance of MMP19 in CRC in present study.

methodsThe expression of MMP19 was first explored in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort, and then validated in the GSE39582 cohort and our own database. Clinicopathological features and survival rate were also investigated.

resultsMMP19 was found to be a predictor for overall survival (OS) in both univariate (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.449, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.108-1.893, P = 0.007) and multivariate survival analyses (HR: 1.401, 95% CI: 1.036-1.894, P = 0.028) in the TCGA database. MMP19 was further validated as an independent factor for recurrence free survival in the GSE39582 database by both univariate analysis (HR: 2.061, 95%CI: 1.454-2.921, P < 0.001) and multivariate analysis (HR = 1.470, 95% CI: 1.025-2.215, P = 0.032). In an in-house cohort, MMP19 was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues when compared with their adjacent normal controls (P < 0.001). Ectopic MMP19 expression was positively associated with lymph node metastases (P = 0.029), intramural vascular invasion (P = 0.015) and serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels (P = 0.045). High MMP19 expression correlated with a shorter OS (HR = 5.595; 95% CI: 2.573-12.164; P < 0.001) and disease free survival (HR = 4.699; 95% CI: 2.461-8.974; P < 0.001) in multivariate cox regression analysis.

conclusionsExpression of MMP19 was upregulated in CRC. High expression of MMP19 was determined to be an independent and poor prognostic factor in CRC. These results suggest that MMP19 may be a good biomarker for CRC.
