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

Mucin 1 (MUC1) expression is upregulated in multiple types of cancer, including lung cancer. However, the conventional anti-MUC1 antibody is not useful for the differentiation of malignant lung tumors and benign lesions due to its limited specificity. Our previous study screened a novel epitope-defined antibody against cancer-associated sugar chain structures that specifically recognizes the MUC1 Tn antigen (MUC1-Tn ED Ab). In the present study, its potential utility as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic tool for lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) was examined. Immunohistochemical analysis of a lung ADC tissue microarray was performed using the MUC1-Tn ED Ab (clone SN-102), and the results were compared with those of another clone and commercially available MUC1 antibodies. The association between positive immunoreactivity of SN-102 and clinicopathologic factors was analyzed. Furthermore, the association between MUC1-Tn expression and epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers and radiological characteristics was analyzed. Moderate or high MUC1-Tn expression (MUC1-Tn-H) was observed in 138 (78.9%) of the 175 lung ADC cases. MUC1-Tn-H was associated with male sex, cigarette smoking, tumor extension, pleural invasion, and higher preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen and cytokeratin 19 fragment levels. Tumors with MUC1-Tn-H had higher consolidation/tumor ratios according to computed tomography and greater uptakes of
