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

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly aggressive malignancy with extremely poor prognosis. Perihilar CCA (pCCA) is the most common subtype of CCA, but its biomarker study is much more lagged behind other subtypes. ZFAND5 protein can interact with ubiquitinated proteins and promote protein degradation. However, the function of ZFAND5 in cancer progression is rarely investigated, and the role of ZFAND5 in pCCA is never yielded. Materials and Methods: In this study, we established a pCCA cohort consisting of 72 patients. The expression of ZFAND5 in pCCAs, and the paired liver tissues, intrahepatic bile duct tissues and common bile ducts (CBD) tissues were detected with IHC. ZFAND5 mRNA in pCCAs and CBDs was detected with qRT-PCR. The pCCA cohort was divided into ZFAND5 Results: Expression of ZFAND5 in pCCAs was substantially higher than that in interlobular bile ducts and common bile ducts, but lower than that in liver tissues. The ZFAND5 Conclusion: ZFAND5 expression was up-regulated in pCCAs compared with the CBDs. We identified ZFAND5 as an independent biomarker of pCCA, which could provide more evidence for the molecular classification of pCCA, and help stratify the high-risk patients based on the molecular features.
