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

backgroundTopoisomerase (DNA) II alpha (TOP2A) is the up-regulated gene of the chromosome aggregation pathway. This gene encodes DNA topoisomerase, which can control and change the topological state of DNA during transcription and replication, participate in chromosome agglutination, separation, and relieve stress from kinking. Abnormally high expression of TOP2A is often associated with active cell proliferation. In studies of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and adrenal cancer, it was found that high expression of TOP2A suggested a poor prognosis.

methodsA total of 15 pairs of fresh hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens and adjacent tissues were assembled, and the difference of TOP2A mRNA and protein expression level between tumor and adjacent tissues was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis, respectively. A total of 84 HCC paraffin specimens were selected for routine pathological grading. TOP2A expression was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The correlation between TOP2A expression and clinicopathological features and survival time was analyzed.

resultsThe expression of TOP2A mRNA and protein in HCC tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in the adjacent tissues. IHC results indicated that the TOP2A positive rate in tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (84.52%, 71/84

conclusionsThe high expression of TOP2A is associated with the invasiveness and poor prognosis of HCC tumors, and, together with liver cirrhosis, can be a prognostic indicator of radical HCC resection.
