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

backgroundThere is limited information regarding the immunohistochemistry stain and its prognostic role in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), and few studies focus on Asian patients. Our study aims to identify the correlation between immunohistochemistry staining and the prognosis of ACC in Asian patients.

methodsWe searched the database of a single center in Taiwan for cases with a pathological diagnosis of ACC in the past 25 years. We collected patient data on age, sex, initial presentation, staging, metastatic site, and survival duration. Immunohistochemical studies using antibodies to CDK4, ATRX, beta-catenin, Ki-67, SSTR2, and p53 were performed. Survival analysis was performed using the log-rank test, the Cox proportional hazards model and bootstrapping with 5000 samplings.

resultsFourteen patients were identified, and the median age was 49.5 (range 1-70) years. There were eight male and six female patients. Four patients presented with Cushing's syndrome, and half were diagnosed with stage IV ACC at presentation. Only three patients survived (21%). The median survival time was 15.5 (range 0.67-244) months. SSTR2 expression score > 50 (log-rank test:

conclusionsAfter adjusting for stage, Ki-67 > 50%, Beta-catenin, ATRX, P53, SSTR2 and SSTR2 expression score > 50 were associated with mortality in Asian patients with ACC.
