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

High-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) is a lesion which is widely believed to be a precursor of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Correct morphologic identification of HGPIN and an understanding of how this diagnosis affects clinical management in the research setting are necessary as HGPIN is a premalignant lesion with many genetic alterations similar to prostate cancer, but is not yet invasive cancer. As such it is critical to differentiate between benign entities, HGPIN, and prostatic adenocarcinoma for experimental design and data interpretation. This review discusses HGPIN, clarifies the terminology used in pathology reports, and describes the clinical and research implications of this entity.
