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

backgroundUterine adenosarcoma (UA) is an extremely rare sarcoma subtype. There has been limited evaluation of the immune microenvironment in these tumors. The objective of this study is to examine and describe the immune infiltrate and PD-1/PD-L1 expression in UA and to correlate these changes in the tumor micro-environment with the overall survival status or the disease-free survival status (DFSS), respectively.

methodsPatients (pts) treated at our center from 1982 to 2014 with UA were identified. Fifteen cases had tumor paraffin-embedded blocks available. Immunohistochemistry studies for CD3, CD8, FOXP3, CD163, PD-1 and PD-L1 (clone 22C3) were performed. Image analysis was used to assess the density (cells/mm

resultsImmune infiltrate analysis median (range) density in cells/mm

conclusionsIn conclusion, this is the first report characterizing the presence of immune infiltrate and PD-1/PD-L1 expression in UA. CD3+ CD8+ T-cells density may be prognostic. The immune-responsiveness of UA needs to be further investigated in a larger study.
