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

objectivesTo analyze the prognostic value of microsatellite instability (MSI) in a population-based study of FIGO stage 1-4 endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinomas. STUDY

designSurvival analysis in 273 patients of MSI status and clinico-pathologic features. Using a highly sensitive pentaplex polymerase chain reaction to establish MSI status, cases were divided into microsatellite stable (MSS), MSI-low (MSI-L, 1 marker positive) and MSI-high (MSI-H, 2-5 markers positive).

resultsAfter 61 months median follow-up (1-209), 34 (12.5%) of the patients developed metastases but only 6.4% of the FIGO-1. MSI (especially as MSI-H versus MSS/MSI-Lcombined) was prognostic in FIGO-1 but not in FIGO2-4. The 5 and 10 year recurrence-free survival rates were 98% and 95% in the MSS/MSI-L versus 85% and 73% in the MSI-H patients (P = 0.005).

conclusionsMSI-H status assessed by pentaplex polymerase chain reaction is an indicator of poor prognosis in FIGO 1, but not in FIGO 2-4 endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinomas.
