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

Bioactive sphingolipid is clearly relevant to lung physiology. The relationship of the bioactive sphingolipid pathway to pulmonary disease has been studied in cellular, tissue, and animal model, including lung cancer models. The samples of 53 patients diagnosed with nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) between June 2009 and May 2014 at our hospital were analyzed. Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis was performed. The degree of immunostaining was reviewed and scored. Using this method of assessment, we evaluated the IHC score of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), vimentin, E-cadherin, and Ki-67. Both invasive adenocarcinoma cell and squamous cell carcinoma cell were well stained by SPHK1, and fibroblasts were also well stained by SPHK1. Although the IHC score of SPHK1 was not significantly differed between invasive adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the IHC scores of fibroblast, vimentin, and Ki-67 were higher in squamous cell carcinoma than invasive adenocarcinoma. Correlation among IHC scores in each of invasive adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma was performed. SPHK1 had positive correlation with both fibroblast and Ki-67, and fibroblast and Ki-67 had also positive correlation in invasive adenocarcinoma. On the contrary, SPHK1 had no significant correlation with fibroblast, and had negative correlation with Ki-67 in squamous cell carcinoma. Although there was not significant prognostic difference in SPHK1 score (
