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

Cholangiocarcinoma is a common malignancy with increasing incidence worldwide. Most patients are diagnosed at the advanced stage with poor survival rate. Laminin subunit γ2 (LAMC2) is a heparin binding-associated gene involved in tumorigenesis and has been implicated in the prognosis of various types of cancers. However, it is unclear whether expression of LAMC2 is associated with the clinical outcome of patients with cholangiocarcinoma. In the present study, the role and prognostic value of LAMC2 expression in patients with cholangiocarcinoma was investigated. Clinical information and pathological characteristics were analyzed and the association between LAMC2 expression and clinical characteristics, pathological findings and patient outcomes, including metastasis-free and disease-specific survival, were investigated. Data from 182 patients with cholangiocarcinoma were evaluated. High LAMC2 expression was associated with higher tumor stage (P
