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

Malignant tumors are rarely homogenous on the morphological, genome, transcriptome or proteome level. In this study, we investigate the intratumor heterogeneity of BAP-1 expression in uveal melanoma with digital image analysis of 40 tumors. The proportion of BAP-1 positive cells was measured in full tumor sections, hot spots, cold spots and in scleral margins. The mean difference between hot spots and cold spots was 41 percentage points (pp, SD 29). Tumors with gene expression class 1 (associated with low metastatic risk) and 2 (high metastatic risk) had similar intratumor heterogeneity. Similarly, the level of intratumor heterogeneity was comparable in tumors from patients that later developed metastases as in patients that did not. BAP-1 measured in any tumor region added significant prognostic information to both American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor size category (
