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

Although epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been described in the development of complete hydatidiform moles and the invasion of the maternal decidua by trophoblasts during normal human placentation, its implication in gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN) without villi is totally unknown. We studied the immunoexpression of EMT transcription factors (TWIST1, ZEB1, ZEB2), E-cadherin, and vimentin in 18 trophoblastic tumors and pseudo-tumors. Weak nuclear TWIST1 immunostaining was seen in 5% to 10% of all trophoblastic cells, without ZEB1 and ZEB2 nuclear staining. Trophoblastic cells did not express vimentin, and the expression of E-cadherin was maintained in all cases, indicating the absence of EMT features in GTN.
