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/

aimThe expression level of the voltage-dependent potassium channel Kv 11.1 was shown to be associated with the clinicopathological features, aggressiveness, and prognosis of human breast cancer. Canine mammary gland tumor (cMGT) is the most common tumor type in intact female dogs; however, the significance of Kv 11.1 in cMGT is unknown. The aim of this study was to identify Kv 11.1 expression in 57 benign and malignant cMGT tissues from dogs and to investigate the correlation of Kv 11.1 expression with the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of cMGT. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 57 samples were collected from cMGTs surgically resected at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Seoul National University and subjected to immunohistochemistry assay using rabbit anti-Kv 11.1 polyclonal antibody. Immunohistochemical staining results were evaluated as the sum of intensity and percentage scores. The correlation between immunohistochemistry scores and clinicopathological parameters was investigated.

resultsImmunohistochemical analysis revealed that Kv 11.1 immunoreactivity was higher in benign cMGTs than in malignant cMGTs. Kv 11.1 expression was significantly associated with tumor malignancy (p<0.001), tumor size (p<0.001), histological grade (p<0.05), and age at the time of mastectomy (p<0.05).

conclusionThis study presents the first evidence of Kv 11.1 expression in cMGTs and indicates an inverse correlation between Kv 11.1 expression and tumor malignancy. Kv 11.1 expression can be used as a prognostic biomarker and a tool for the management of cMGTs.
