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

backgroundTo investigate the role of prostate tumor overexpressed 1 (PTOV1) in the development and progression of human cervical cancer.

methodsReal-time quantitative PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry were used to explore PTOV1 expression in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. Cell proliferation capability was examined by MTT assay. Statistical analyzes were applied to evaluate the correlation of PTOV1 expression with clinical parameters and prognosis.

resultsThe expression level of PTOV1 was markedly higher in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines than that in adjacent noncancerous tissues and the normal cervical epithelial cells. PTOV1 overexpression was correlated with higher tumor stage (P = 0.001), larger tumor size (P = 0.004), and lymph node involvement (P = 0.036). Moreover, patients with high PTOV1 expression showed shorter overall and recurrence-free survival time (P = 0.013 and P = 0.010, respectively). PTOV1 knockdown by short hairpin RNAi inhibited cancer cell growth in vitro.

conclusionPTOV1 may be an important factor associated with proliferation of cervical cancer.
