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

C-terminal binding protein-2 (CtBP2) a transcriptional corepressor, has been reported to involve in tumorigenesis and progression and predict a poor prognosis in several human cancers. However, few studies on CtBP2 in lung cancer tissues have been performed. In the present study, we first explored the CtBP2 gene expression profile from the the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) datasets, then western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry were performed to investigate and verified whether lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues exhibit deregulated CtBP2 expression. We evaluated the correlations between CtBP2 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics, and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed to estimate the effect of CtBP2 expression on prognosis of LUAD patients. The results revealed that CtBP2 expression was significantly upregulated in LUAD tissues compared with normal lung tissues. Furthermore, increasing CtBP2 expression in LUAD was significantly associated with tumor differentiation (P = .028), tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage (P = .042). CtBP2 expression was significantly correlated with LUAD patients' survival (P = .028). In conclusion, the present study revealed that CtBP2 protein is a novel prognostic marker for LUAD. A further large-scale study is needed to confirm the present results.
