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

Eph tyrosine kinase receptors and their ephrin ligands are involved in normal development and tumorigenesis. Eph receptors are frequently over expressed in a wide variety of human malignant tumors, being associated with tumor growth, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of EphB4 and its ligand of ephrinB2 protein expressions in human lung adenocarcinomas. EphB4 and ephrinB2 protein expressions were assessed immunohistochemically on paraffin embedded tissues obtained from 93 patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Fifty-one out of 93 (54.8%) specimens were negative for EphB4 expression, and 42 out of 93 (45.2%) were positive for EphB4 expression. EphrinB2 expression was consistently negative in all tissues. EphB4 expression was significantly associated with tumor differentiation (
