Dual Immunostain With SATB2 and CK20 Differentiates Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasms From Ovarian Mucinous Neoplasms.
Article in American journal of clinical pathology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesDetermination of the primary site of origin for mucinous neoplasms identified in the peritoneal and/or pelvic cavities may be challenging, with major differential diagnoses including appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (AMN) and ovarian mucinous neoplasm (OMN). Special AT-rich sequence binding protein 2 (SATB2) has been shown to be highly selectively expressed in the lower gastrointestinal tract, including the appendix.
methodsWe investigated the utility of a dual stain (DS) with SATB2 or caudal type homeobox 2 (CDX2) and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) or villin in distinguishing AMNs from OMNs. Tissue microarrays with 40 AMNs and 18 OMNs were stained with SATB2 or CDX2 paired with either CK20 or villin.
resultsSATB2 single stain showed a good sensitivity of 83% and the highest specificity of 78% for AMNs over OMNs among all four stains. DS with SATB2 and villin showed an identical sensitivity of 78% but specificity increased to 94%, while DS with SATB2 and CK20 showed a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 100%. In contrast, DS with CDX2 and CK20/villin showed slightly higher sensitivity but much lower specificity.
conclusionsDS with SATB2/CK20 shows the greatest potential clinical utility in distinguishing AMNs from OMNs and is superior to DS with CDX2/CK20. Importantly, DS could be helpful for specimens with limited tissues.
