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

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) and meningioma, for their morphology immunohistochemical markers similarity, were usually confused especially before surgery. This study aimed to develop a panel of biomarkers to differentiate HPC from meningioma. Real-time PCR and immunohistochemical staining were employed to determine the levels of p53, bcl-2, c-myc, vimentin, CD34, FVIIIa, MGMT and reticular fiber in 15 meningiomas, HPCs and their normal controls. We found that, in the mRNA expression level, both Bcl-2 and c-myc were high in HPC and meningiomas, but bcl-2 was higher in HPC than in meningiomas, c-myc was lower in HPC than in meningiomas. In protein expression level, reticular fibers were around most HPC tumor cells but observed null in meningiomas; CD34 and FVIIIa were both found positive in HPCs but negative in meningiomas; MGMT was weak focal in HPC but strong diffuse in meningiomas. In conclusion, bcl-2, c-myc, and MGMT could be employed as the new panels of biomarkers for distinguishing HPC from meningiomas.
