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

Expression of E74-like factor 5 (ELF5) in endometrial carcinoma tissues and its clinical significance were investigated. Eighty-four endometrial carcinoma tissues, 30 cases of atypical hyperplasia of endometrium and 30 cases of normal endometrial tissues were selected. Immunohistochemical method was utilized to detect the expression of ELF5 in different endometrial tissues. Moreover, its correlation with clinical pathological indexes of patients with endometrial carcinoma was analyzed. The postoperative follow-up was conducted in all the patients with endometrial carcinoma until June 30th, 2017. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis so as to analyze the association of ELF5 expression level with clinical pathological indexes; Cox's proportional hazards regression model was utilized for univariate and multivariate analyses to screen independent risk factors for prognosis of endometrial carcinoma. In normal endometrial tissues, atypical hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma tissues, the positive expression rates of ELF5 showed a decreased tendency (P=0.016). The positive expression rate of ELF5 in endometrial carcinoma tissues was lower in comparison to normal endometrial tissues (P=0.016). The expression of ELF5 was in accordance with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging of endometrial carcinoma (P<0.05), pathological grading (P<0.05), pathological typing (P=0.001), state of lymph node metastasis (P<0.05) and depth of myometrial invasion (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier method for survival analysis showed that the average survival time of patients with negative ELF5 expression was shorter in comparison to the patients with positive expression (P=0.004). FIGO staging (P=0.004), pathological grading (P=0.048), depth of myometrial invasion (P=0.024) and lymph node metastasis (P=0.020) were related to the prognosis of patients with endometrial carcinoma, The univariate Cox's regression model analysis indicated that FIGO staging (P=0.010), pathological grading (P=0.040), depth of myometrial invasion (P=0.037), lymph node metastasis (P=0.029) and ELF5 (P=0.010) were associated with the prognosis of patients with endometrial carcinoma. Further, multivariate analysis revealed that ELF5 was an independent risk factor for prognosis of patients with endometrial carcinoma (P=0.035). The expression of ELF5 has a correlation with the occurrence, development and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma.
