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

Although a reduced expression of nm23 has been shown to correlate with a high metastatic potential in some human cancers, in colorectal cancers, conflicting data have been reported. As there are two homologous genes, nm23-H1 and nm23-H2, which encode the A and B subunits of nucleoside diphosphate kinase, efficient and simplified techniques were designed to selectively study nm23-H1 and -H2 expression in 35 colorectal cancers at both the protein and mRNA levels by immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) using specific antibodies and primers. Nm23-H1 and Nm23-H2 proteins were overexpressed in tumours compared with adjacent mucosa. This overexpression was lost, however, in some advanced cases: 89% and 81% of TNM (tumour, node, metastases) stages 0-II showed Nm23-H1 and -H2 overexpression, respectively, which significantly differed from 47% and 38% of stage III-IV tumours. Similar results were seen with nm23-H1 mRNA. Heterogenous labelling of tumoral cells was seen by immunohistological staining. This suggests a dichotomy: an overexpression of nm23-H1 and -H2 linked to early stages of cancer and a loss of nm23-H1 overexpression seen in more advanced stages. Therefore specific nm23-H1 determination should be evaluated as a prognostic factor in human colorectal carcinoma.
