Role of Bcl-2, p53, and Ki-67 expression in basal cell carcinoma and their association with aggressive and non-aggressive histological phenotypes.

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.
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
Introduction: There is increasing evidence that immunohistochemical expression of p53, Ki-67, and Bcl-2 is associated with aggressive (aBCC) and less aggressive (nBCC) histological subtypes and may have a prognostic role. Aim: To investigate the clinicopathological features and immunohistochemical expressions of p53, Ki-67, and Bcl-2 in cutaneous basal cell carcinoma focusing on histological subtypes. Their roles and possible interactions in the development and progression of BCC are discussed. Material and methods: A total of 50 BCC samples from 50 patients from Western Mexico between June 2018 and June 2019 were included. Paraffin-embedded samples were immunostained with p53, Ki-67, and Bcl-2 antibodies. Semi-quantitative analysis was performed to determine the intensity and positivity of immunostained cells. Parametrical and non-parametrical tests were performed according to the sample's distribution. Results: Samples included 21 nBCC and 29 aBCC. The statistical analysis showed statistical association when grouped as non-aggressive and aggressive subtypes for p53 ( Conclusions: We found that a high expression of Bcl-2 and a low expression of p53 was associated with more indolent histopathological features of BCC and therefore better outcomes. These findings suggest that examination of p53 and Bcl-2 expression in BCC patients may provide valuable prognostic information. These biomarkers may play a role in the development and progression of some cases of BCC.
