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

Purpose: The determination of the presence or absence of anaplasia in Wilms tumor is difficult sometimes creating diagnostic errors and is worsened by the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which causes cellular alterations that may mimic anaplasia. This study described the histological features of Wilms tumor and their association with WT1 and p53 expression in archived specimens in South Western Uganda. Patients and Methods: A series of 308 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks belonging to 85 children were retrospectively recruited in the only public Histopathology laboratory in South Western Uganda. Rabbit monoclonal Anti-Wilms tumor protein antibody [(CAN-R9) IHC-56-2] ab89901 and rabbit monoclonal Anti-p53 antibody [E26] ab32389 were used to assess the expression of WT1 and p53, respectively. The expression of WT1 and p53 were reported as proportions, Chi-square was also performed to assess for associations and statistical significance was considered when the p-value was less than 0.05. Results: The median age was 3.5 with an interquartile range of (2-6) years. Mixed histology was the most common at 35.29% (95% CI:25.77-46.14). Anaplasia was present in 5.88% (95% CI:2.44-13.52) of the specimens. p53 and WT1 expressions were 13.0% (95% CI:7.25-22.04), and 41.0% (95% CI: 31.11-52.04), respectively. Conclusion: Mixed-type histology is the most common histologic feature of Wilms tumor with high expression of WT1 and a low expression of p53 implying that these can be used routinely to confirm the diagnosis as well as anaplasia in South Western Uganda.
