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

objectiveThe objective of this study was to analyze the incidence of immunohistochemically detectable p53 protein accumulation in epithelial ovarian carcinomas and to correlate these data with the clinical outcome so as to clarify further the role of p53 mutations in prognosis with these patients.

methodsTumor tissues from 179 patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma were used for immuno-histochemical analysis with monoclonal antibody DO1 and BP 53-12-1 on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue.

resultsA total of 78 cases (44%) showed positive nuclear p53 staining. The p53-positive cases were found in all histological types of epithelial ovarian tumors. p53 staining was found in tumors of all stages with a higher percentage of positive cases in stage IV ovarian carcinomas (not significant). Poorly differentiated carcinomas showed a significantly higher percentage of p53 protein expression than did highly differentiated tumors (P = 0.0002). Clinical follow-up of up to 14 years (median 25 months) showed a slightly but not significantly shortened disease-free and overall survival time for patients with p53-positive epithelial ovarian carcinomas.

conclusionsWe conclude from our data that p53 expression in ovarian carcinoma is associated with poor differentiation but not with the disease being in an advanced stage. There was a tendency for shortened disease-free and overall survival for patients with p53-positive tumors.
