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

objectiveTo explore the expression of MMP20 in endometrial carcinoma and its clinical significance.

methodsBioinformatics analysis was used to explore the correlation of MMP20 expression with the prognosis of the patients with endometrial carcinoma. We collected 21 pairs of fresh endometrial carcinoma and adjacent endometrial tissues to detect the expression of MMP20 mRNA using real-time PCR. We also examined MMP20 protein expressions in 134 paraffin-embedded endometrial carcinoma tissues and 34 paraffin-embedded endometrial tissues using immunohistochemistry. The correlation of MMP20 expression with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients were analyzed.

resultsBased on TCGA database analysis, the patients with endometrial carcinoma showing an increased MMP20 mRNA expression had a significantly poorer prognosis than those with a low MMP20 mRNA expression (

conclusionsHigh expression of MMP20 is a potential prognostic factor for poor outcomes of patients with endometrial carcinoma.
