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

We evaluated the diagnostic value of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta (HNF-1β) and napsin A for diagnosing ovarian clear cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical EnVision was used to measure HNF-1β and napsin A expression in 38 cases of ovarian clear cell carcinoma, 30 cases of high-grade serous carcinoma, 22 cases of endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and 16 metastatic Krukenberg tumor cases. Then we found that HNF-1β appeared in all ovarian clear cell carcinoma and was less common in high-grade serous and endometrioid adenocarcinoma (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference in HNF-1β between clear cell carcinoma and metastatic Krukenberg tumor was found (P > 0.05). Napsin A was expressed in 97.4% of ovarian clear cell carcinoma, 6.7% high-grade serous carcinoma, 22.7% endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and 0% metastatic Krukenberg tumors. Napsin A in clear cell carcinoma was greater than that found in high-grade serous carcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and metastatic Krukenberg tumor (P < 0.05). Sensitivity and specificity of HNF-1β and napsin A for diagnosing ovarian clear cell carcinoma was 100% and 54.4%, and 97.4% and 89.7%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of HNF-1β and napsin A for diagnosing ovarian clear cell carcinoma was 97.4% and 91.2%, respectively. So it is concluded that HNF-1β and napsin A are more sensitive than currently used markers for diagnosing ovarian clear cell carcinoma. Moreover, napsin A is more specific than HNF-1β. Combining HNF-1β and napsin A may distinguish clear cell carcinoma from high-grade serous carcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma and metastatic Krukenberg tumors.
