Prognostic Role of Human Epididymis Protein4 (HE4) in Endometrial Lesions: Study in a Tertiary Care Centre.

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.
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
Endometrial cancer accounts for 20% of malignant tumours in the female reproductive system. A novel biological marker human epididymis protein4 (HE4) represents an important alternative indicator which may benefit patient mortality. To correlate the immunohistochemical expression of HE4 in different non-neoplastic and neoplastic endometrial lesions and with the WHO grade of the tumours. Our study was a cross-sectional, observational study done in a tertiary care hospital from December 2019 to June 2021 on the hysterectomy sample of 50 patients with a clinical history of abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain. The study showed strong positivity of HE4 in cases of endometrial carcinoma, weak positivity in cases of atypical endometrial hyperplasia, and negativity in cases of endometrial hyperplasia without atypia group. WHO grade 3(50%) and grade 2 (29%) endometrioid adenocarcinoma NOS in our study showed strong positivity for HE4 which was statistically significant (
