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

introductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is traditionally regarded as the most commonly diagnosed gastrointestinal malignant disease. Nevertheless, despite advances in diagnosis and novel therapeutic options, the clinical outcomes of patients are still not satisfactory.

aimTo investigate the clinicopathological and prognostic roles of Notch1 expression, the immunohistochemical investigation was performed in samples of CRC tumour tissues, adjacent non-pathological mucosa, and metastatic foci in regional lymph nodes in Caucasian patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsParaffin-embedded adenocarcinoma samples were assessed immunohistochemically for Notch1 protein and scored according to the percentage of cells with a positive reaction combined with staining intensity. Connections between Notch1 immunoexpression and clinicopathological factors including the 5-year overall survival (OS) were evaluated.

resultsThe level of the Notch1 immunohistochemical reactivity was correlated with the grade of the histological differentiation, size of the primary tumour, regional lymph node involvement, and perineural invasion (all

conclusionsThe enhanced level of Notch1 immunoexpression was significantly associated with malignancy-related clinicopathological factors and reduced the 5-year overall survival in CRC patients.
