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

Objective: This study aims to investigate the expression of neuronal transcription factor SOX11 in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and compare it with the expression of CD56 (nerve cell adhesion molecule), synaptophysin (Syn), chromogranin A (CgA), and thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) to explore the application value of SOX11 in the pathological diagnosis of SCLC. Methods: Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expression of SOX11, TTF-1, CD56, Syn, and CgA in 120 lung tumor tissues, and experimental results were analyzed using SPSS23.0 statistical software. Results: Immunohistochemical results showed that in the 120 lung tumor samples, SOX11 was highly expressed in SCLC and localized to the nucleus, with low or no expression in control carcinoid/lung neuroendocrine tumors, lung adenocarcinomas, and lung squamous cell carcinomas. Statistical analysis results revealed the following points. First, the expression of SOX11 was closely related to the tumor histological type. The expression of SOX11 in SCLC (positive rate of 63.33%) was significantly higher than that in carcinoid/neuroendocrine tumors (positive rate of 12.50%), lung adenocarcinoma (positive rate of 0%), and lung squamous cell carcinoma (positive rate of 0%). Second, immunohistochemical investigation of 60 SCLC cases revealed that the highest positive rates of CD56, TTF-1, and Syn, respectively, were 93.33 percent, 95 percent, and 86.67 percent. SOX11 also exhibited high sensitivity (0.633) and specificity (0.875) in SCLC. The positive rates of SOX11 and CgA were 63.33% and 50.00%, respectively. Statistical results revealed that the positive rate of CgA had no significant difference ( Conclusion: The expression of SOX11 in different histological types of lung tumors differs considerably. SOX11 is highly expressed in SCLC. SOX11 can be used as a beneficial supplement to the combination of classical neuroendocrine markers and in combination with CgA, CD56, Syn, and TTF-1 to assist in the diagnosis of SCLC.
