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: Current chemotherapy treatments, including the TIP (Taxol, Ifosfamide, Cisplatin) regimen, have shown limited effects but strong side effects in advanced Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) patients. Trophoblast cell-surface antigen-2 (TROP-2) is a novel target for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) drugs and has been proven to be effective in several human cancers. This study aimed to explore the biological function and potential of the ADC target in PSCC cells. Methods: A total of 196 PSCC tumor tissue specimens and clinicopathological data were collected. TROP-2 expression was detected by IHC, and the correlation between TROP-2 expression and the clinicopathological data of patients was analysed through statistical methods. Then, a series of Results: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed that TROP-2 was highly expressed in 60.2% of tumor specimens, and statistical analysis revealed that high TROP-2 expression correlated with advanced pT and pN stages and extranodal extension (ENE), as well as poor prognosis. Knockdown of TROP-2 inhibited the proliferation of PSCC cells both Conclusion: TROP-2 promoted PSCC cell proliferation via AKT/PKCα-dependent pathway, and TROP-2-targeted ADC-drug has a gratifying inhibitory effect on PSCC proliferation both
