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

AIMS AND

objectivesVarious grades of breast carcinoma and proliferative indices used as nuclear protein Ki-67 and argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) are being compared to each other. MATERIALS AND

methodIn this observational cross-sectional investigation, 42 breast biopsies from questionable breast areas were collected and preserved in formalin and paraffin before the tissue blocks were made. A thorough medical history regarding the breast tumor and thorough physical examination results were recorded. Two sections were produced, one stained with an immunohistochemical marker called Ki-67 and the other with a unique stain called AgNOR.

resultsGrade I in Nottingham was found to be highest in subjects with Ki-67 1%, grade II in subjects with Ki-67 1-10%, and grade III in subjects with Ki-67>10%. Therefore, a higher Ki-67 score and a higher Nottingham grade were more closely associated. The mean AgNOR score was determined to be highest in Nottingham grade III and lowest in Nottingham grade I. In contrast to grade I and grade II of carcinoma (CA) breast, where there was no statistically significant association between Ki-67 and AgNOR, grade III of CA breast showed a statistically significant link between Ki-67 and AgNOR.

conclusionProliferation has been identified as a distinctive feature of cancer and as a key factor in the prognosis of the disease.
