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

For many years, clinical and surgical pathologists have searched for explanations as to why human tissue is altered, why mass lesions are observed or why the function of an organ is disrupted. One way to answer these questions has been to assess tissue with the naked eye and/or using light- or electron-microscopes, and to compare what is seen in the lesioned tissue with what is seen in normal tissue. Lesions have then been described and named primarily by clinical and surgical pathologists. The practice of sampling tissue for assessment has led to the creation of biobanks-archives of tissue samples that have been analysed and stored for future use. With appropriate ethical approval, these tissue archives have been used extensively for research; over the past decades, our knowledge of various tissue alterations has increased almost exponentially. Below, we have briefly summarised some aspects of work carried out in the field of pathology and its limitations, with particular emphasis on brain pathology.
