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

Histopathological malignancy grading of human gliomas is limited by subjective interpretation of the morphological criteria. Assessment of mitotic activity is a cornerstone of grading these tumours, but mitotic figures can be hard to identify in haematoxylin-eosin stained sections. Thus, determining proliferative activity by means of Ki-67/MIB-1 immunostaining has become a useful supplement. However, this method has drawbacks, so continuous testing and evaluation are required for optimization and standardization. The aim of this study was to analyse and evaluate the Ki-67/MIB-1 proliferative indices (PIs) in a series of gliomas. We found that Ki-67/MIB-1 PIs correlated well with histological malignancy grade in all glioma subtypes, but a considerable overlap of PIs was observed between the malignancy groups. Consequently, Ki-67/MIB-1 immunostaining alone is not sufficient to adequately determine the malignancy grade. Therefore, future work is necessary to clarify the role of this immunostaining in the histopathological diagnosis of human gliomas.
