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

purposePrior studies have shown that nuclear reactivity for BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) yields prognostic information for paraffin-embedded uveal melanomas. Lacking are immunocytochemical studies of BAP1 on fine needle aspiration biopsies of uveal melanoma that correlate with prognosis or other markers of prognosis. Our purpose was to fill this gap.

designExperimental laboratory study.

methodsFine needle aspiration biopsies were performed prospectively on 113 patients with uveal melanomas, garnering limited subsets of cases for comparison. Agreement between immunocytochemistry for BAP1 nuclear staining vs chromosome 3 ploidy analysis and gene expression profiling was assessed by 2 × 2 contingency table analysis.

resultsThe presence or absence of suppression of nuclear expression of BAP1 was strongly associated (73%, P = .000002) with monosomy and disomy chromosome 3, respectively. BAP1 nuclear expression was also correlated with gene expression profiling. Chromosome 3 ploidy analysis correlated with gene expression profiles.

conclusionWhen adequate material is obtained, immunocytology using BAP1 is a potentially informative tool for prognostication of uveal melanoma.
