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

Immunohistochemical markers have been frequently utilized as a diagnostic tool in pathology to help in diagnosing malignancy of unknown primary sites. In previous cases, the immunohistological expression of cytokeratin 7 (CK7), Napsin A, and thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) has helped identify and diagnose primary malignancy as originating from the lung. This case report describes an elderly woman with a liver metastasis consistent with a lung primary and illustrates the utility and importance of tissue-specific markers as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of unknown primary tumors.
