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

objectiveThis study investigated the expression of P-type copper transporting adenosine triphosphatase ATP7A in the tumor tissues of patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and analyzed its correlation to clinicopathologic features and prognosis of advanced ESCC patients.

methodsThe expression of ATP7A protein in 49 specimens of advanced ESCC patients who were treated with first line cisplatin-based chemotherapy without surgery or radiotherapy, was detected by immunohistochemistry. The correlation of ATP7A expression with clinicopathologic features and prognosis of advanced ESCC patients weas analyzed by SPSS 16.0 statistical software package.

resultsPositive ATP7A staining was observed in cytoplasm of ESCC cells in 44. of tumors (22 of 49 cases), but was not detected in adjacent stroma of tumor tissue. ATP7A expression status was correlated with response to histologic grade and cisplatin-based chemotherapy (

conclusionATP7A was positively expressed in the majority of advanced ESCC tissues. The expression level of ATP7A was an important factor affecting tumor tissue's histologic grade, the response to platinum-based chemotherapy and the prognosis of advanced ESCC patients. This indicates that ATP7A might be involved in the genesis and development of ESCC, and could be a resistance marker for platinum-based chemotherapy, and a prognostic factor for survival in patients with ESCC treated by Pt-based chemotherapy.
