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

aimEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a refractory digestive organ cancer that requires better treatment strategies. We have recently reported that the antidiabetic drug metformin exerts antitumor effects on ESCC by inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) nuclear translocation. In the present study, we focused on caspase recruitment domain family member 9 (CARD9), an essential signal adapter in NF-κB activation to examine whether it can be used as a prognostic factor in ESCC.

methodsWe investigated CARD9 expression immunohistochemically in clinical samples obtained from 93 patients with ESCC who underwent curative esophagectomy. CARD9 expression was analyzed for correlation with clinicopathological characteristics and ESCC prognosis. The molecular effects were investigated by knocking down ESCC cells. Comprehensive RNA expression changes in these ESCC cells were detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS).

resultsHigh CARD9 expression is significantly correlated with advanced tumor depth (

conclusionHigh CARD9 expression is significantly associated with poor prognosis. Therefore, CARD9 expression may be a prospective prognostic biomarker in ESCC.
