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

Background: Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most common gynaecological cancer worldwide. The Cancer Genome Atlas molecular grouping of a given case of EC could be assessed by Objectives: To investigate PD-L1 immunohistochemical expression in EC in relation to MMR and p53 status. Associations between marker expression and different histopathological parameters were also investigated. Methods: This retrospective study was performed on archival biopsies of 170 cases of EC using a tissue microarray model. Immunohistochemical staining was applied using antibodies against PD-L1, MLH1, MSH2 and p53. Results: The percentages of positivity were as follows: PD-L1, 19.6%; MLH1, 79.5%; MSH2, 78.5%; and p53 mutant, 13.8%. There was significant correlation between MLH1 expression and MSH2 expression ( Conclusions: A panel of immunohistochemical markers (PD-L1, MLH1, MSH2 and p53) could help to predict the prognosis and plan the treatment of patients with EC. MMR deficiency seems to be a good predictor for PD-L1 status, and therefore the response to potential PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.
