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

Approximately 30% of endometrial cancers are associated with microsatellite instability (MSI) caused by deficiencies in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes (dMMR). MMR testing by immunohistochemistry for MMR proteins and MSI testing by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are routinely utilized to screen patients with colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer for Lynch syndrome and, more recently, to identify patients eligible for immunotherapy. The Biocartis Idylla™ MSI assay is a fully automated, cartridge-based real-time PCR assay. The assay uses as little as one formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor section and is designed to detect seven novel MSI biomarkers consisting of short homopolymers located in
