Cancer antigen 125 is associated with disease status in uterine carcinosarcoma.
Article in Rare tumors, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Uterine carcinosarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor with poor outcomes. Cancer antigen 125 is routinely used to track the disease course of ovarian cancer and has been suggested as a biomarker in other aggressive forms of uterine cancer. We sought to characterize cancer antigen 125 as a potential biomarker of disease status in uterine carcinosarcoma. Clinical and pathological data were abstracted for patients who had surgical staging for a pathologically confirmed uterine carcinosarcoma at our institution from January 2000 to March 2014. Non-parametric tests were used to compare changes in cancer antigen 125. Elevated cancer antigen 125 (>35 U/mL) as a predictor of survival was assessed via Kaplan-Meier curves. Among the 153 patients identified, 66 patients had at least one paired measure of cancer antigen 125 drawn preoperatively, post-treatment, or at the time of disease recurrence, and 19 patients had cancer antigen-125 levels at all three time points. Analysis of the 51 patients with both preoperative and post-treatment values found a significant drop in cancer antigen 125 (
