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

objectivesRecent evidence suggests a role of androgen receptor expression as a prognostic and therapeutic biomarker in endometrial carcinoma, therefore in the present study we aimed to evaluate the frequency of androgen expression in different subtypes of endometrial carcinoma and its association with clinic-pathologic features.

results18/89 (20.2%) cases of endometrial carcinoma showed positive androgen receptor expression. On the other hand, low, moderate and high androgen receptor expression was noted in 7/89 (7.9%), 10/89 (11.2%) and 1/89 (1.1%) cases respectively. 15/77 (19.48%) of endometrioid cancers and 3/7 (42.28%) cases of serous carcinoma showed androgen receptor expression; while none of the cases of clear cell or carcinosarcoma revealed androgen receptor expression. No significant association of androgen receptor expression with various clinicopathologic features of endometrial carcinoma was noted. We found that a significant subset of endometrial cancers express androgen receptor especially a serous cancers; therefore we suggest that androgen receptor expression testing should be done in endometrial carcinoma.
