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

Ki-67 is a useful proliferation marker in various tumors including lymphoma. In general, the number of Ki-67 positive cells in immunohistochemistry (IHC) is counted manually for routine pathological diagnosis. However, a manual count is subjective and time consuming. Currently, image analysis is often used for the quantification of positive cells in tissue in IHC. Thus, to determine the pathological prognostic factors for follicular lymphoma (FL), we studied the relationship between Ki-67 expression in IHC and the treatment effect and prognosis using image analysis software. We analyzed 82 newly-diagnosed patients with FL. All patients were treated with rituximab-containing regimens. The median Ki-67 expression was 17.0%. A high expression of Ki-67 tended to be associated with short overall survival (
