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

Immunohistochemical examination was performed of serial sections of 24 normal human adult cervical tissues and 53 human cervical carcinomas including 36 cases with lymph node metastasis. For this investigation, monoclonal antibodies directed to Lewis-X, Lewis-Y, sialyl-dimeric Lewis-X (SDLX), sialyl-Tn (STn) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were used. STn and CEA antigens were expressed very weakly in the normal cervical epithelium but strongly in the cancer cells, indicating the antigens to be oncogenic antigens of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. No significant difference in immunoreactivity was observed between primary and metastatic lesions of carcinoma or between primary lesions with and without metastasis. However, the expression patterns of STn and Lewis-Y antigens were quite different between primary lesions and metastatic lesions. In primary lesions the cancer cell nests tended to be stained centrally, but in metastatic lesions the cancer cell nests tended to be stained peripherally. This finding may reflect an important role of these carbohydrate chains in the process of metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma to regional lymph nodes.
