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

introductionCarcinosarcoma (CS) is a tumor with components: epithelial (carcinomatous) and mesenchymal (sarcomatous), developing in the mechanism of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. It is known that the p53 defect is a frequent finding in a carcinosarcoma in different anatomical locations, additionally, in a subgroup of uterine CS MMR defect plays a role in the pathogenesis. The aim of this paper was to investigate the frequency of MMR and p53 aberrations in extrauterine CS. MATERIAL AND

methodsTwenty eight extrauterine CS from the lung (

resultsImmunostainings for hMLH1, PMS2, hMSH2 and hMSH6 were positive in all tumors. p53 defect was observed in 19 out of 28 samples (67.85%). In all cases except one (96.42%) there was a concordance between sarcomatoid and carcinomatous components.

conclusionsMMR deficiency does not seem to play a role in the pathogenesis of extrauterine CS. p53 aberrant expression is frequent and almost always consistent in carcinomatous and sarcomatous component.
