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

backgroundp53 isoform Δ133p53 is directly transactivated by p53 and antagonizes p53 activities in cancer progression. However, its correlation with prognosis and cancer recurrence in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is still unclear. PATIENTS AND

methodsExpression of Δ133p53 and Δ133p53/full-length p53 (FLp53) in tissues and serums of 180 ESCC patients was evaluated using qRT-PCR. Patients were divided into high- and low-expression groups according to the cutoff value determined by X-tile 3.6.1 software. Survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox survival analyses were applied to assess the hazard ratios (HRs).

resultsTissue Δ133p53 expression and Δ133p53/FLp53 ratio were significantly increased in ESCC tissue compared with adjacent normal tissue. Pre-operative Δ133p53 expression and Δ133p53/FLp53 ratio in tissue or serum samples were positively associated with TNM stage and post-operative recurrence. Kaplan-Meier curve and multivariate cox regression analyses revealed that the tissue and serum Δ133p53/FLp53 ratios (cutoff value: 2.9160) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in ESCC patients and showed no statistical difference in receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, while serum Δ133p53 showed no significant prognostic value. More importantly, the serum Δ133p53/FLp53 ratio in ESCC patients was significantly decreased within 72 h post tumor resection and patients with a consistently high serum Δ133p53/FLp53 ratio (≥2.9160) had higher recurrence rates than those with consistently low ratio values. In addition, dynamic detection in each follow-up timepoint showed that serum Δ133p53/FLp53 ratios were higher than 2.9160 upon recurrence, and they even increased prior to radiologic progression.

conclusionThe serum Δ133p53/FLp53 ratio can be a novel predictor for survival outcome and may serve as a real-time parameter for monitoring recurrence in ESCC patients after surgery.
