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

purposeThe molecular heterogeneity of endometrial stromal tumors (ESTs) is demonstrated by the presence of the same fusion gene in distinct pathologic entities, such as endometrial nodules and low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, both exhibiting the MATERIALS AND

methodsTumor methylation and transcriptomes profiles were investigated.

resultsThe methylation profile showed distinct clusters, which correlated with established histopathologic and molecular subtypes. The highest methylation value was reported for nuclear factor of activated T cytoplasmic 1, and the lowest was detected for miR34C. Two different 5'-C-phosphate-G-3' (CpG) sites of

conclusionIn ESTs, the genes involved in chromosomal rearrangements function as transcription regulators, either directly through the formation of zinc finger motifs or indirectly through epigenetic regulation. The methylation signature is different for distinct subgroups of the EST spectrum, with more aggressive tumors, HG-ESS, and undifferentiated uterine sarcoma, clustering together. Some genes showed similar methylation levels in different entities, highlighting the presence of a continuum in the tumor profile. Methylation levels of CpG sites at specific gene loci may serve as valuable biomarkers for these tumors.
