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: Certain variants of NHL repeat (named after Methods: The expression of NHLRC2 in lung tissue samples was studied by immunohistochemistry (102 ADC, 111 SCC), mRNA Results: NHLRC2 was mainly expressed in cancer cells and inflammatory cells within the tumor. The NHLRC2 expression evaluated by image analysis method was significantly higher in ADC compared with that in SCC (P<0.001). High NHLRC2 expression was associated with reduced disease specific survival (P=0.002), overall survival (P=0.001), and high mitotic activity (P=0.042) in ADC. Additionally, the proportion of NHLRC2-positive cancer cells analyzed by the semiquantitative method was significantly higher in ADC than in SCC (P<0.001). Conclusions: NHLRC2 expression was higher in lung ADC than in SCC and its expression was associated with poor survival in ADC patients. Further studies are required to clarify the pathogenetic role of NHLRC2 in lung cancer.
