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

The expression of human placental-type glutathione S-transferase (GST-pi) was investigated in human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and normal skin using Northern blot and immunohistochemical analysis. In Northern blot examination, the expression of GST-pi transcript was recognized in all instances, and SCC showed a significantly higher expression of GST-pi than normal skin. In immunohistochemical examination, GST-pi was stained well in the cytoplasm of all cells of the stratum granulosum, many cells of the stratum spinosum and a few cells of the stratum basale in normal skin. Some cells of the stratum spinosum and almost all cells of the stratum basale showed only a weakly positive or almost negative reaction for GST-pi. No nuclear staining of GST-pi was obvious in normal epidermal cells. In SCC, many cells showed strong positivity for GST-pi in the cytoplasm, and some were obviously accompanied by nuclear staining of GST-pi. These findings suggest that GST-pi exists mainly in many cells in the upper layers of the normal epidermis and that GST-pi is involved in the process of carcinogenesis.
