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

Studies comparing rabbit monoclonal SP1 antibody with 1D5 for estrogen receptor (ER) immunohistochemical testing show conflicting results. Here we use a standardized quantitative immunofluorescent (QIF) ER assay to determine the level and significance of discordance between the antibodies. Both antibodies were assessed by QIF on our Index TMA of cell lines and case controls, followed by QIF and immunohistochemical analysis on 2 retrospective cohorts from Yale. On the Index TMA, SP1 displayed stronger signal-to-noise ratio compared with 1D5. On the patient cohorts, the range of discrepancy between the 2 antibodies was 8% to 16.9%, with the majority of discrepant cases being SP1 positive/1D5 negative. Kaplan-Meier analysis of the discrepant cases showed outcomes comparable to those of double-positive cases, suggesting that SP1 is more sensitive than 1D5. A series of cases with high levels of ER-β shows that neither antibody cross-reacts, suggesting equivalent specificity. Future efforts are needed to determine whether response to endocrine therapies show superiority of either antibody as a companion diagnostic test.
