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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the relationships between androgen receptor (AR) expression and clinicopathologic features of sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) of the eyelid.

methodsAR expression was evaluated via immunohistochemistry analysis of surgically derived samples from 11 patients with SGC of the eyelid.

resultsThe expression of AR was evident in 9 of 11 patients (82%). We divided patients into high AR (7 patients) and low AR (4 patients: 2 patients with low expression and 2 patients with no expression) groups. The low AR group showed significantly greater progression than the high AR group with regard to T category and exhibited a lower grade of differentiation.

conclusionIn patients with SGC of the eyelid, a marked decrease in AR expression may be associated with a poor prognosis. AR may be a prognostic factor and a potential therapeutic target in cases of SGC of the eyelid.
