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 the p53 and Rb1 proteins was examined in an unselected consecutive series of 250 primary operable colorectal carcinomas with a mean follow-up of 4.3 years (range 43-77 months). The overall cancer-specific mortality was 34.8%, with 87 cancer deaths and 35 deaths as the result of other causes. Expression of p53 protein was identified in 152 of 250 (60.8%) cases, with expression of Rb1 protein in 207 of 250 (82.8%) cases. There was no association of p53 or Rb protein expression with patient age, sex, tumour site, tumour size, tumour type, tumour grade, peritumoral fibrosis, tumour lymphocytic infiltrate, nature of the tumour margin, extramural vascular invasion, number of lymph nodes or high apical lymph node involved or local peritoneal infiltration by tumour, Dukes' stage or Jass group. There was no difference in overall survival or recurrence-free survival for those cases that showed p53 expression or Rb1 protein expression compared with those cases showing absence of p53 or Rb1 protein expression, although patients with tumours showing aberrant (reduced) Rb1 protein expression demonstrated shorter recurrence-free survival and overall survival. The effect of 'aberrant' Rb1 protein expression and shorter recurrence-free and overall survival did not, however, achieve independent statistical significance. The results from this study would suggest that expression of p53 and Rb1 proteins does not appear be useful in determining the prognosis of operable colorectal cancer.
