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

The present retrospective study aimed to investigate the expression of semaphorin-4C (Sema4C) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and to determine the association between Sema4C expression and patient clinicopathological characteristics. Sema4C mRNA expression was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction in the tissues of 74 cases of EOC, 20 cases of ovarian epithelial benign tumor, 20 cases of ovarian borderline epithelial tumor and 15 cases of normal ovarian tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression and localization of Sema4C. The association between Sema4C expression level and patients clinicopathological characteristics was determined by χ
