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

backgroundImmunohistochemistry (IHC) is crucial for determining cancer treatments. We previously developed a rapid IHC method and have now developed a fully automated rapid IHC stainer (R-Auto). This study aimed to evaluate the clinical reliability of the R-Auto protocol for staining estrogen receptors (ERs) in breast cancer specimens and evaluate the staining performance.

methodsBetween January 2015 and June 2020, 188 surgical specimens collected from breast cancer patients treated at our hospital were evaluated via ER staining using R-Auto, conventional manual IHC, and a commercial autostainer. The specimens were scored using Allred scores, after which the staining results were compared between R-Auto and conventional IHC or the commercial autostainer. Weighted kappa coefficients and AC

resultsThe AC

conclusionsR-Auto enables a good staining performance in a shorter time with less effort.
