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

objectivesAcinic cell carcinoma of salivary gland harbours recurrent and specific chromosomal rearrangement [t(4;9)(q13;q31)], resulting in the translocation of secretory calcium-binding phosphoprotein gene cluster at 4q13 to nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group a member 3 at 9q31. This upregulates the transcription factor nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3, which can be detected by immunohistochemistry. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the performance of nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 immunostaining on whole-slide acinic cell carcinoma tissue, in comparison with discovered on GIST-1 immunostaining. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe retrieved 6 cases of acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC), including 5 conventional low-grade and 1 dedifferentiated high-grade. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 (NR4A3) and discovered on GIST-1 (DOG1) were performed at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on all retrieved cases.

resultsThe result shows that NR4A3 IHC shows better performance than DOG1 IHC: 5 of the 6 (83.3%) AciCC cases (including the dedifferentiated high-grade) demonstrated strong diffuse nuclear staining for NR4A3, also five AciCC cases (including the dedifferentiated high-grade) demonstrated weak to moderate membranous staining with variable distribution for DOG1. Moreover, only 3 (50%) cases showed complete membranous staining with DOG1.

conclusionsThis pilot study showed that nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 immunostaining is a sensitive marker for acinic cell carcinoma and of better utility than discovered on GIST-1 immunostaining in making a diagnosis of acinic cell carcinoma.
