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

Biliary tract cancers have an extremely poor outcome, and specific diagnostic markers and effective treatments are needed urgently. In this study, we assessed the capacity of panel of immunohistochemical markers including claudin-18, maspin, and p53 to distinguish biliary tract carcinoma and biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) from non-neoplastic epithelium. We performed a retrospective study of 66 biliary tract cancer specimens and 63 specimens with non-neoplastic lesions. Of the surgical specimens, 96.7 % with adenocarcinoma/BilIN were detected as neoplastic, and all 63 specimens histologically diagnosed as non-neoplastic lesion were detected as non-neoplastic with high sensitivity (91.1 %) and specificity (100 %). Of presurgical endobiliary forceps biopsy specimens, all with adenocarcinoma/BilIN and only 1 of the 19 with a non-neoplastic lesion were distinguished as neoplastic with high sensitivity (100 %) and specificity (94.7 %). Moreover, this panel provided good separation of neoplasm from malignancy-undetermined atypical epithelium (18/21, 85.7 %). This panel achieves a more reliable distinction of biliary tract cancers and BilINs from non-neoplastic epithelia in both surgical and biopsy specimens than immunohistochemical analysis with single antibodies and is useful in supporting a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma and BilIN.
