Iododeoxyuridine labelling of S-phase fraction in fine needle aspirates from breast carcinomas.

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.
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
The suitability of measuring the S-phase fraction in human breast cancer by labelling tumour cells from fine needle aspirates (FNAs) in vitro with iododeoxyuridine (IdU) was studied in 11 patients. The S-phase fraction was measured both in preoperative FNAs labelled in vitro with IdU, and in FNAs taken from the same tumour when surgically removed after intravenous administration of IdU. Frozen sections were also immunostained for incorporated IdU. The mean S-phase fraction measured in FNAs after in vitro or in vivo labelling and in sections after in vivo labelling was 4.0, 3.6, and 3.1, respectively. Results of in vitro and in vivo labelling of FNAs with IdU were similar. However, as the S-phase fraction in breast cancer is generally low, the variation between the different measurements is too large; therefore, the S-phase fraction is not a suitable indicator of response to treatment.
