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

purposeKi-67, tumor proliferation marker, is an important prognostic factor in a variety of cancers. In the present study, we investigated the expression and the prognostic value of Ki-67 in nephroblastoma.

methodsKi-67 expressions were investigated by immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded material in 48 children operated on because of nephroblastoma. Patients were treated according to SIOP protocol. The mean follow-up period was 5.4 years. A proliferation index was obtained by immunohistochemistry using anti-Ki-67 anti-body.

resultsThe mean Ki-67 proliferation index in the blastemal type was 12.3%, and in the epithelial type, 21.4%. In the anaplastic type, Ki-67 proliferation index was: in the blastemal component 20%, in the stromal 21%, and in the epithelial 31%. In the mixed tumor type, Ki-67 proliferation index was assessed as: in the blastemal component 10%, in the epithelial 33% and in the stromal 31.5%. Proliferation index for the epithelium was significantly higher than those found for the blastema (P = 0.001). A correlation between Ki-67 and tumor stage found proliferation index significantly higher in stages I and II (P = 0.002).

conclusionThe results support the conclusion that Ki-67 is a relevant marker for assessing the proliferative activity and tumor cell dynamics of nephroblastoma, but it may not be a good clinical prognostic marker.
