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

Expression levels of autophagy-related genes ARHI and Beclin1 in thyroid cancer and their relationship with clinical pathology and prognosis were investigated. The expression levels of ARHI and Beclin1 proteins in 80 cases of thyroid cancer and adjacent tissues were detected by western blot analysis. According to the expression levels of ARHI and Beclin1, low- and high-expression groups were determined and the relationship of the expression levels with the pathological parameters and prognosis in thyroid cancer was compared between the two groups. The correlation between the ARHI and Beclin1 protein expression level was analyzed by Pearsons correlation analysis. The levels of ARHI and Beclin1 proteins in thyroid cancer tissues were significantly lower than those in adjacent tissues (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the expression levels of ARHI and Beclin1 in terms of pathological stage and differentiation degree of cancer tissues (P<0.001); however, there was no significant difference in the expression levels of ARHI and Beclin1 for different types of cancer tissues (P>0 05). There was a positive correlation between the expression levels of Beclin1 and ARHI (r=0.5187, P<0.001). The 3-year survival rates of patients with low-expression level of ARHI and Beclin1 proteins were significantly lower than those of patients with high expression (P<0.05). In conclusion, the expression levels of Beclin1 and ARHI were low in thyroid cancer, and were significantly associated with the pathological stage, differentiation degree and prognosis in thyroid cancer. Beclin1 and ARHI can be used as predictors for the development and prognosis of thyroid cancer.
