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

Ductal tumors of canine mammary glands can be difficult to distinguish from simple tumors on routine histology. Because oxytocin receptor (OXTR) expression in myoepithelial cells has been implicated in human breast tumorigenesis, we immunohistochemically evaluated 8 ductal adenomas and 5 ductal carcinomas, including OXTR expression. Luminal cells were positive for cytokeratin 19 and pan-cytokeratin. Suprabasal myoepithelial cells were strongly positive for p63, weakly and focally positive for vimentin, and negative for smooth muscle actin and calponin, therefore indicating that p63 is the most suitable marker for these cells in ductal tumors. Unlike humans, OXTR was expressed in luminal cells of normal canine mammary ducts and in both luminal and suprabasal myoepithelial cells in ductal tumors, suggesting a role in ductal tumor development.
