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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to identify the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of uterine endometrial carcinoma (EC) with DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective study approved by our institutional review board. The study included 118 patients pathologically diagnosed as having EC in our institution from April 2014 to December 2016. Of 118 patients, 8 were excluded because of insufficient data. Immunohistochemical analysis of MMR was performed retrospectively to observe the expressions of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. A tumor with MMR deficiency was detected in 17 of 110 cases (15%). Clinical background characteristics and MRI findings were reviewed. These findings were compared between MMR deficiency group and the other group as a control group. Statistical significance was determined using the Fisher's exact test and the Mann-Whitney U test, as appropriate.

resultsThe clinical background characteristics of patients with EC with MMR deficiency were not significantly different from those of other patients. On MRI, the tumor was significantly more often located in the lower uterine site (MMR(-) vs. MMR(+): 29.4 vs. 8.9% [p = 0.0366]).

conclusionEC with MMR deficiency tends to be located lower in the uterus, though most other findings were not significantly different from those of EC without MMR deficiency.
