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

Purpose: We aimed to identify genetic alterations in groups with different HER2 immunohistochemical (IHC) scores. Patients and Methods: A total of 120 patients with HER2-positive breast cancers, including 89 cases with IHC 3+ tumors and 31 cases with IHC 2+ and positive for in situ hybridization (ISH) were enrolled. Molecular profiles were determined using Thermo Fisher TMO comprehensive assay on surgically removed tissues. All called variants were compared between IHC3+ and IHC2+/ISH+ groups by Fisher exact test. Results: There was a significantly higher sample frequency 94.4% (84/89) of Conclusion: We conclude that HER2 IHC3+ tumors have higher frequency of
