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

backgroundUterine sarcoma (US) is a highly malignant cancer with poor prognosis and high mortality in women. In this study, we evaluated the expression of human fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in different US subtypes and the relationship between survival and clinicopathological characteristics.

methodsWe conducted a comparative analysis of FGF23 gene expression in different pathological types of US. Utilizing a cohort from The Cancer Genome Atlas of 57 patients, a 50-patient microarray dataset (GSE119043) from the Gene Expression Omnibus and a Suining cohort of 44 patients, we analyzed gene expression profiles and corresponding clinicopathological information. Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expression level of FGF23 in four US subtypes. Survival analysis was used to assess the relationship between FGF23 expression and prognosis in US patients.

resultsCompared with uterine normal smooth muscle and uterine leiomyoma, FGF23 expression was significantly upregulated in US and was differentially expressed in four US subtypes. Uterine carcinosarcoma exhibited the highest expression of FGF23 among the subtypes. Survival analysis revealed no correlation between FGF23 expression and either overall survival or progression-free survival in US (

conclusionFGF23 was highly expressed in US and was promising as a novel potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of US.
