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

objectiveEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The aim of this study was to explore the prognostic significance of prolyl-4-hydroxylase α subunit 2 (P4HA2) in patients with EOC. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 217 clinical samples (EOC tissues, 167 cases; normal ovarian, 50 cases) were collected and pathologically confirmed using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. P4HA2 expression in clinical samples was stained by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Relationship between P4HA2 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of EOC patients were analyzed using chi-square test. The differential expression of targets was analyzed in Oncomine database. The prognostic value of P4HA2 was investigated in clinical EOC patients and Kaplan-Meier (KM) Plotter database.

resultsIHC staining showed that P4HA2 was significantly up-regulated in EOC tissues, compared to the normal tissues. Two databases retrieved from Oncomine database further confirmed the up-regulation P4HA2 in EOC. Chi-square test demonstrated that P4HA2 expression was associated with clinical stage (

conclusionThe present study preliminarily proved that P4HA2 expression was associated with clinical outcome in EOC patients. P4HA2 might be a prognostic factor for EOC progression, and has the potential to be a valuable therapeutic target for EOC.
