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

To evaluate the potential role of Pten and CD4FOXP3 T cells in prognosis from endometrial cancer.Tissue samples and clinical data were collected from 200 patients with endometrial cancer and 100 control patients with benign uterine diseases. The expressions of Pten and CD4FOXP3 T cells were quantified by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. After surgery, all patients were followed up for an average of 56.3 months. Surgical effects were evaluated based on the patients' symptoms and signs. A two-sided P value < .05 was considered significant.Pten diminished and CD4FOXP3 T cells significantly accumulated with the progression of endometial cancer, in comparison to the controls. Moreover, Pten expression was negatively correlated with the count of CD4FOXP3 T cells. Pten and CD4FOXP3 T cells were correlated with clinical characteristics, including tumor stage, differentiation and associated with patients' disease-free survival.Limited data were available between the expressions of Pten and CD4FOXP3 T cells in patients with endometrial cancer. Our study findings suggested that the expressions of Pten and CD4FOXP3 T cells might become possible biomarkers for the diagnosis and prediction in endometrial cancer.
