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

Introduction: The objective of this study was to identify and report the clinicopathologic features of two cases of intraocular malignant teratoid medulloepitheliomas with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation. Case Presentations: The clinical and pathologic findings in 2 patients who underwent enucleation for intraocular tumors were reviewed. The eyes were sectioned routinely, and immunohistochemical stains were performed to evaluate the intraocular tumors. The left eyes that were enucleated from 3- to 14-year-old females contained intraocular tumors that filled the posterior compartments. The tumors contained both neuroepithelial and mesenchymal components. Immunohistochemical stains were positive for neuron-specific enolase and S-100 in the neuroepithelial components. The mesenchymal components contained rhabdoid cells, which stained for desmin and myogenin. Mutational analysis revealed DICER1 mutations in both tumors. Both tumors were classified as malignant teratoid medulloepithelioma with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation. Conclusions: Intraocular medulloepithelioma may contain areas with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation and have DICER1 mutations.
