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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the expression of S100 positive dendritic cells (DCs) and the relationship with clinicopathologic factors in endometrial carcinoma.

methodsSamples were collected from 89 patients with endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma treated in Pusan National University Hospital from 2004 to 2011. Normal endometrial tissues were obtained from 30 hysterectomized women with benign adnexal masses and served as controls. Paraffin-embedded sections were immunohistochemically stained for S100 was performed, and the number of positive DCs was counted. The relationship of these cells to the stage, histological grade, myometrial invasion, and lymph node metastasis was analyzed.

resultsThe proportion of S100-positive DCs in the endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma was 31.5% (28/89), which was significantly higher (P<0.05) than in the control group. The proportion of S100-positive DC expression was negatively correlated with the histologic grade, but was not associated with the stage, myometrial invasion, or lymph node metastasis.

conclusionHigh DC density was inversely correlated with histologic grade in endometrial carcinoma. Tumor-infiltrating S100+ DCs may be used as pathologic marker in endometrial carcinoma.
