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

objectiveTo examine whether the expression levels of endogenous H

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted of clinicopathological data obtained from 176 patients diagnosed with PTC, and immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expression levels of endogenous H

resultsWe found that CSE was overexpressed in PTC tissues, while CBS and MPST were only slightly expressed in PTC tissues at levels similar to those in adjacent normal tissues. The levels of CSE expression were positively correlated with tumor size, extrathyroidal extension (ETE), and lymph node metastasis (LNM), but were not correlated with patient gender, age, or TNM stage. SHH, PTCH, and SMO Hh signaling pathway components were widely expressed in PTC tissues, and their expression correlated with larger tumor size, ETE, and LNM, but not with patient gender, age, or TNM stage, suggesting that activation of the Hh signaling pathway is involved in thyroid tumor progression.

conclusionsThese data suggest that a high level of CSE expression accompanied by Hh signaling pathway activation is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of PTC.
