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

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has become a major health risk to human health. Although significant clinical progress has been made in the treatment of ESCC, the prognosis of patients still needs to be improved. Therefore, it is important to screen effective molecular indicators for the prognosis of ESCC. In this study, the intersection of up-regulated genes, down-regulated genes, and Wnt signaling pathway-related genes in ESCC was taken, and 47 overlapping genes were found. PRICKLE1 was determined to be an independent prognostic factor in ESCC based on univariate and multifactorial COX risk regression models. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that patients in the PRICKLE1 high expression group had significantly better overall survival. In addition, we performed various experiments to examine the effects of PRICKLE1 overexpression on proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of ESCC cells. The experimental results showed that the PRICKLE1-OE group had reduced cell viability, significantly lower migration ability and significantly higher apoptosis rate compared to the NC group.Therefore, we hypothesized that high PRICKLE1 expression could be used to predict the survival rate of ESCC patients, which could be used as an independent prognostic indicator for ESCC patients and provide potential applications for ESCC clinical treatment.
