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

objectiveTo detect the expressions of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-activated kinase (TAK1) and TGF-β- activated protein kinase 1 (TAB1) in esophageal cancer tissues and explore their correlations with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients.

methodsThe expressions of TAK1 and TAB1 in 84 esophageal cancer tissues and paired adjacent tissues was detected using immunohistochemical staining. The correlations of different patterns of TAK1 and TAB1 expressions (TAK1 alone, TAB1 alone, and both) with the clinicopathological features of the patients were analyzed. The correlation between TAK1 and TAB1 was assessed based on GEPIA datasets. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to analyze the recurrence-free survival of the patients in relation with TAK1 and TAB1 expressions.

resultsTAK1 and TAB1 were highly expressed in 65.5% (55/84) and 52.4% (44/84) of the esophageal cancer tissues, respectively. The expression of TAK1, TAB1 and their co-expression were all correlated with tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, and TNM staging (

conclusionsTAK1 and TAB1 are associated with the progression and prognosis of esophageal cancer and can serve as new prognostic biomarkers for esophageal cancer and as potential molecular targets for therapies.
