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

backgroundColorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent types of tumors worldwide. P16ᴵᴺᴷ⁴ᵃ is a widely used immunohistochemical marker for high-risk HPV infection. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between P16 expression as an indicator of HPV infection and colorectal cancer in Egyptian patients, as well as its association with histopathological characteristics. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe study was performed on 59 cases of colorectal carcinoma cases and 30 specimens of normal colonic mucosa.

resultsp16 protein was detected in 22% (13 of 59) of patients with colorectal carcinoma. No evidence of P16 expression in all 30 cases of non-neoplastic colonic mucosa was found. More frequent expression of P16 was seen in distal carcinomas.

conclusionour study demonstrated that P16 protein is expressed in a reasonable percent of colorectal carcinoma cases, suggesting a role of HPV in colorectal carcinogenesis. The present study highlights the role of p16 protein expression which is important in the pathogenesis in colorectal carcinoma, especially regarding distal tumors.
