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 microsatellite instability (MSI) testing is a useful tool for molecular screening of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) carcinomas, conflicting results have been obtained in colorectal adenomas. This might result from different techniques of tissue sampling and MSI analysis. Alternatively, some HNPCC-associated adenomas may follow a molecular route that differs from the MSI pathway. In the present study we examined the MSI status of 18 adenomas from 17 HNPCC patients by comparing manual adenoma dissection under gross visual control with laser microdissection of single adenoma crypts. After manual gross dissection, 50% (9 of 18) and 11.1% (2 of 18) of the adenomas displayed high-level (MSI-H) and low-level (MSI-L) MSI, respectively. The same set of adenomas split into 83.3% (15 of 18) MSI-H and 5.6% (1 of 18) MSI-L after laser microdissection. The expression pattern of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins showed a higher concordance rate with the MSI status in laser-dissected (94%) than gross-dissected (47%) adenomas. Whereas two adenomas remained microsatellite stable (MSS) and MMR proficient even after laser-assisted dissection, two MSI-H cases showed either rare instabilities at coding microsatellites or intratumoral heterogeneity of MSI with and without MSH2 expression. This suggests that in some adenomas development of MMR dysfunction occurs stepwise with MSI, arising before complete loss of MMR gene expression, whereas other HNPCC-associated adenomas might develop independently of MMR deficiency.
