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

Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies worldwide. Only 2 agents have been approved by Food and Drug Administration for endometrial cancer since 1971. There is a need to identify molecular targets to treat advanced endometrial cancer. The receptor for hyaluronic acid-mediated motility (RHAMM) is upregulated in various types of cancer. Here, we aimed to determine the clinical significance of RHAMM expression in endometrial cancer. Two hundred twenty-five cases of endometrial cancer, including serous and endometrioid types, and 8 cases of normal endometrium were used for studying RHAMM protein levels. The Cancer Genome Atlas database was also queried for RHAMM mRNA expression in endometrial cancer. Increased expression of RHAMM protein was seen in endometrial cancer compared with no or weak expression in normal endometrium. RHAMM expression positively correlated with tumor grade. RHAMM expression was significantly increased in endometrial serous carcinomas, which are high-grade, aggressive types of endometrial cancer, compared with the relatively less aggressive endometrioid carcinomas. RHAMM expression also correlated with the presence of lymphovascular invasion. RHAMM mRNA expression correlated with decreased survival in The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort. Therefore, increased RHAMM expression in endometrial cancer is associated with high-grade tumors and is indicative of more aggressive behavior. These findings suggest RHAMM as a prognostic factor in endometrial cancer and as a potential therapeutic target in advanced endometrial cancer for future studies.
