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

Uterine sarcomas are rare and aggressive gynecologic malignancies. In this immunohistochemical (IHC) study, expression of Ki-67, p53, CD10, CD44, desmin, smooth muscle actin, estrogen receptor α (ERα), androgen receptor (AR), progesterone receptor A (PRA), and c-kit and their influence on survival in cases of uterine carcinosarcoma (CS), leiomyosarcoma (LMS), and endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) were evaluated. Medical records were reviewed and data collected concerning all uterine sarcomas treated during a 12-year period at Helsinki University Central Hospital. There was sufficient histological material for IHC analysis and slide review in 67 cases. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and median survival times with 95% confidence intervals are given. Survival in cases of LMS was statistically significantly affected by the expression of p53, ERα, and PRA. Striking differences in expression of IHC markers when comparing results with those in earlier studies were the absence of AR immunoreactivity in all uterine sarcomas and low incidence of c-kit (15%; in endometrial stromal sarcoma). None of the markers was statistically significantly associated with survival of ESS and CS patients. The expression of p53, ERα, and PRA in uterine LMS may give prognostic information concerning the behavior of the disease. Hormonal therapy could be recommended as a treatment option in cases of hormone receptor-positive LMS.
