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

Objectives: We explored the expression levels and clinical significance of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in urothelial carcinoma (UC) tissues. Materials and methods: Patient data were reviewed, and 111 paraffin specimens of UC obtained from the Department of Urology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, from 2020 to 2021 were collected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect HER2 protein expression in all UC tumor tissues. The Results: In this study, 92 cases (82.88%) showed HER2 protein expression, and there was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of HER2 positivity (immunohistochemistry 2+ and 3+) according to the pathological grades of UC ( Conclusions: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein is highly expressed in UC, and its expression may be closely related to the high pathological grade of UC.
