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

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and CD105 are highly expressed in several types of cancer. The present study aimed to determine whether BDNF, TrkB, VEGF and CD105 are associated with the prognosis and metastasis of patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at the IB2 stage. A total of 79 patients with IB2-stage SCC were enrolled in the present study. The expression levels of BDNF, TrkB, VEGF and CD105 in IB2-stage cervical cancer tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry and their association with clinicopathological indexes or prognostic factors was statistically analyzed. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR was used to detect whether the expression of VEGF was affected in SiHa cells co-cultured with BDNF. In addition, BDNF-induced SiHa cell migration and invasion were examined. BDNF expression in the cervical cancer samples was significantly associated with positive lymphovascular space invasion (P<0.001) and pelvic lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). In addition, microvessel density was verified as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (P<0.05).
