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

The biopsy specimens of 91 patients between the ages of 38 and 94 with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder were retrospectively reviewed to determine if the expression of CD15 antigen detected by a monoclonal antibody MC2 was correlated with prognosis. Expression was variable, ranging from strong expression of the antigen by only the superficial cells in well differentiated papillary lesions to weak expression by most cells in solid or invasive tumours. In the invasive component there was a correlation between MC2 expression and tumour type, suggesting that the cell surface carbohydrate detected by MC2 may have a role in cell adhesion. There was no correlation between staining and survival. It is concluded that tumour type, grade, and stage remain the best prognostic indicators of urothelial tumours.
