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
The most common malignant tumors of the uterus are endometrioid adenocarcinomas (EA). Their prognosis depends on the qualitative characteristics of the neoplastic cells and their stroma. The neovascularization of EA tissues and level of microvascular density (MVD) influence tumor progression. Our study aims to establish the relationship between MVD in EA tissue and the histological and immunohistochemical features of tumors. Materials and methods: The authors studied 30 cases of endometrial ЕА and compared their histological and immunohistochemical characteristics with the MVD of tumor tissues. Results: Our study indicated that MVD in EA tissue depends on the grade of the tumors and their FIGO stage. Increased MVD was correlated with a depression of E-cadherin and PR expression and enhanced expression of VEGF and Ki-67. MVD enhancement during VEGF overexpression is a manifestation of the functional activity of these proteins. The increase in MVD was accompanied by more frequent metastasis of the EA to the lymph nodes. Conclusion: EA progression is accompanied by qualitative and quantitative variations of parenchymal and stromal patterns of tumors. Dedifferentiation of EA leads to overexpression of VEGF, which becomes diffuse in tumors cells, resulting in an increase of adenocarcinomas' MVD and their metastatic potential. Correlations between histological and immunohistochemical features of EAs indicate the synchronicity of the occurrence and progression of morphological and immunological anaplasia, which can be used in predicting the course of the disease.
