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

Studies show CYFRA 21-1 fragments of cytokeratin 19 (CK19) to be promising biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although previous literature identifies specific CYFRA 21-1 antibody binding epitopes, the exact molecular weight of the CK19 fragment being detected by current assays is not well-documented. Serum samples from 58 patients (lung cancer (N = 36), control (N = 22)) were used to measure CYFRA 21-1 across four different quantification assays: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), chemiluminescent assay (ChLIA), electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA), and compensated interferometric reader (CIR). In the cancer group, correlation between ECLIA and ELISA was high (R
