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

This study was aimed at determining whether high-grade endometrioid carcinomas (grade 3 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) might overlap, at least partially, non-endometrioid carcinomas (type II). To this end, a panel of clinical-pathological and immunohistochemical parameters was evaluated in three different populations: low-grade endometrioid carcinomas (LGECs; n = 57), high-grade endometrioid carcinomas (HGECs; n = 26), and non-endometrioid carcinomas (NECs; n = 30). Besides morphological appearance, HGECs appeared similar to LGECs in p53 immunostaining profile; features different from LGECs included a higher local aggressiveness, a higher invasion of lymph-vascular spaces, a lower expression of ERalpha and PR, and a higher proliferative index. HGECs were similar to NECs for local aggressiveness, invasion rate of lymph-vascular spaces, lymph node metastasis incidence, and proliferative index. HGECs, however, showed a lower rate of extra-nodal metastases, a lower incidence of p53 overexpression, and a higher positivity for ERalpha and PR. In conclusion, results from this study show that HGECs exhibit overlapping morphological and immunohistochemical features of both type I and type II endometrial carcinomas. Further research is needed to clarify the clinical value of this observation.
