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

Relationships between the incidence of metastatic spread and microvessel density, expression of proto-oncogene products, or expression of resistance-related proteins were investigated in human ovarian carcinomas by immunohistochemistry. Ovarian carcinomas with a high microvessel density showed a significantly increased formation of metastases (P = 0.005). Tumors with positive immunoreactivity of c-jun and c-myc products had a higher metastatic spread; however, these results were not statistically significant. A marginally significant correlation existed between the expression of erbB1 (EGFR) and metastatic spread (P = 0.05). No significant relationship was found between the expression of the resistance-related proteins P-glycoprotein or glutathione S-transferase-pi and the incidence of metastases. Furthermore, no correlation was detected between expression of the heat shock protein 70 and the occurrence of metastases.
