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

backgroundSyndecan-1 (CD138;

methodsWe analyzed syndecan-1 expression in a large, clinicopathologically well-characterized collective of 154 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, 221 extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas, and 95 gallbladder carcinomas as well as respective normal tissues and precursor lesions by immunohistochemistry with digital image analysis and correlated with recurrence-free survival and prognostic markers. Furthermore, we conducted an analysis of cancer genes in the cholangiocarcinoma cohort of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

resultsDuring cholangiocarcinogenesis, syndecan-1-expression decreased when compared to normal bile ducts and biliary intraepithelial neoplasia; however, syndecan-1 levels were found to be elevated in lymph node metastases. In the TCGA cohort, high mRNA

conclusionsSyndecan-1 was found to be downregulated during cholangiocarcinogenesis, yet we could not show significant effects on prognosis on protein level. Further analyses are needed to further depict its specific role.
