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/

aimMeningiomas represent the main intracranial primary central nervous system (CNS) tumour in adults worldwide. Oncogenes' over-activation combined with suppressor genes' silencing affect negatively the biological behavior of these neoplasms. This study aimed to explore the impact of p53 suppressor gene expression in meningiomas' clinic-pathological features based on a combination of sophisticated techniques. MATERIALS AND

methodsFifty (n=50) meningiomas were included in the study, comprising a broad spectrum of histopathological subtypes. An immunohistochemistry assay was applied on tissue microarray cores followed by digital image analysis.

resultsp53 protein over-expression (high staining intensity levels) was observed in 27/50 (54%) cases, whereas the rest (23/50-/46%) demonstrated moderate to low levels of the protein. p53 over-expression was statistically significantly correlated to the mitotic index of the examined cases (p-value=0.001). Interestingly, the atypical/anaplastic group of histotypes demonstrated the strongest p53 expression rates compared to the others (p-value=0.001).

conclusionp53 overexpression is observed in a broad spectrum of meningiomas. High expression levels lead to an aggressive biological behavior of the malignancy (combined with increased mitotic rates), especially in atypical and anaplastic sub-types that also have a high recurrence rate.
