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

backgroundCancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a well-known complication of malignant tumors. It has been predominantly reported in mucin (MUC)-producing adenocarcinomas, with MUC secreted by the tumor thought to be involved in the thrombotic mechanism. However, studies comparing tumor and thrombus areas are scarce.

methodsIn this study, we examined the immunohistochemical characteristics of 18 autopsy specimens of tumor and thrombus sections (CAT) and control specimens of 25 tumors without thrombus and 16 thrombi without tumors. Immunohistochemistry was performed using antibodies associated with coagulation and MUC, including tissue factor (TF), thrombin, MUC2, MUC5AC, and MUC6.

resultsIt was revealed that TF was predominantly positive in the tumor sections of CAT compared with tumors without thrombus (

conclusionsThese results suggest that the expression of TF in tumor tissues is involved in the pathogenesis of CAT, and furthermore, that MUC2 contributes to thrombus formation in CAT via a pathway other than TF. In the future, these immunohistochemical analyses will help predict CAT in cancers and detect hidden cancers in patients with thrombosis.
