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

Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate histopathologic aspects of, and the expression of Ki-67 and cleaved caspase-3 in, feline mammary carcinoma (FMC). Methods Feline mammary tumors were surgically obtained by mastectomy from 30 female cats and were fixed with formalin and embedded in paraffin wax. Four-micron sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histopathologic diagnosis. Ki-67 and cleaved caspase-3 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Results Samples were histologically confirmed as FMC. Positive immunostaining was observed in all cancer samples for both nuclear Ki-67 and cleaved caspase-3, with a mean positive staining percentage of 27.5% and 21.2%, respectively. No statistically significant correlations between Ki-67 and cleaved caspase-3 were observed within FMC. Conclusions and relevance A high proliferation index was found in feline mammary tumors. This is the first study evaluating cleaved caspase-3 expression in FMC.
