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

Background: Cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) are the most commonly used tumor biomarkers for ovarian cancer (OC) screening and diagnosis. The risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) score uses these markers, as detected by the Roche system, to predict the risk of OC. This study sought to assess the performance of the Mindray system in detecting CA125 and HE4 for ROMA score calculation in clinical settings. Methods: Consecutive OC patients and patients with benign pelvic masses were screened and enrolled in this study. The CA125 and HE4 levels of these patients were measured using both the Mindray and Roche systems. The ROMA score for each patient was calculated. Diagnostic performance was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: The HE4 and CA125 levels were significantly higher in the patients with OC than the patients with benign ovarian masses. Both detection systems showed high efficiency in detecting ovarian cancer. For the premenopausal OC patients, the AUC values for the ROMA score, HE4, and CA125 were 0.866, 0.852, and 0.879, respectively, using the Roche system, and 0.911, 0.902, and 0.883, respectively, using the Mindray system. For the postmenopausal OC patients, the AUC values for the ROMA score, HE4, and CA125 were 0.962, 0.920, and 0.953, respectively, using Roche system, and 0.966, 0.924, and 0.959, respectively, using the Mindray system. The correlation analysis showed strong agreement between the two systems. Among the patients who experienced recurrence, we observed a significant increase in both HE4 and CA125 levels compared to baseline using the Mindray system. Conclusions: The Mindray and Roche systems provide consistent results. The Mindray system can be used to detect HE4 and CA125 for ROMA score calculation.
