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

As breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, we aim to correlate cytonuclear morphometric parameters with clinicopathological features in order to emphasize their importance to prognostication. Following the pathological processing of tumor specimens, representative areas throughout the tumor mass were selected. These areas have been scanned using an Olympus VS200 slide scanner and analyzed using QuPath v0.4.4. Nine cytonuclear morphometric parameters have been calculated and correlated with clinicopathological features. P values were determined through regression analysis and a p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Many significant correlations have been obtained between cytonuclear morphometric parameters and clinicopathological features. There have been elaborated mathematical criteria-based algorithms by selecting cut-off values for tubular differentiation score, nuclear pleomorphism score, mitotic rate score, Nottingham score, lymph node status, lymphovascular invasions, perineural invasion, presence of necrosis, presence of in situ carcinoma and presence of microcalcifications. The cytonuclear morphometric parameters show great promise for prognostication in breast cancer patients, as many of them were significantly correlated with clinicopathological features. The values of these parameters have allowed the development of algorithms to predict these features.
