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

The use of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining in determining and/or confirming the cellular origin of poorly differentiated sarcomas was evaluated in this study. Sarcomatous neoplasms were evaluated in a research study conducted in 2 strains of p53+/- haploinsufficient mice. The most common neoplasms were undifferentiated sarcomas, followed by osteosarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas (RMSs). The RMSs were poorly differentiated and appeared similar to the pleomorphic, or adult type, RMS of humans. All sarcomas stained positive by IHC for the mesenchymal cell intermediate filament vimentin. The RMSs were identified by positive IHC staining for myogenin, a transcription factor specific to skeletal muscle. Osteosarcomas were easily identifiable on hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides; no generally accepted IHC stain specific for bone is presently available. Some of the undifferentiated sarcomas contained numerous macrophages that stained positive for F4/80, a macrophage marker; the positive-staining cells were considered to be infiltrating macrophages. One-third of the neoplasms observed in this study were associated with subcutaneous implanted electronic microchips used for animal identification. Based upon histopathologic evaluation and IHC staining, it was not possible to distinguish neoplasms associated with subcutaneous microchips from neoplasms not associated with microchips.
