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

Using various immunohistochemical markers, the objective of our study was to assess whether correlation exists between growth potential of paraganglioma (pheochromocytoma) cells and formation of metastasis. The patient was a 28-yr-old man who presented with intermittent episodes of gross hematuria due to a mass in the urinary bladder. He had no constitutional symptoms to suggest paraganglioma. Histologic, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic investigation of the surgically removed tissue proved that the tumor was a malignant paraganglioma with metastases in the regional lymph nodes. The immunohistochemical tests were not supportive of high cell proliferation index, indicating that metastases can develop in the absence of rapid multiplication of the tumor cells. Abnormalities in vascular architecture and marked expression of VEGF in the tumor cells may be regarded as prognostic signs to predict the formation of metastases.
