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

Cell proliferation indices of 31 primary intracranial haemangiopericytomas (HPC) and their recurrences and metastases were correlated with the long-term recurrence, metastasis and survival rates. Paraffin-embedded specimens were used for K-67, PCNA and p53 immunostainings and for estimation of S-phase fraction (S-PF) in flow cytometry. The median Ki-67 and PCNA indices and S-PFs were 10.4, 3.2, and 4.0 for primary HPCs and 14.1, 14.1, and 5.5 for recurrences, respectively. High indices were associated with higher recurrence, metastasis and death rates, but not at the p < or = 0.5 level. Consequently, these indices do not seem useful in planning of treatment and follow-up of meningeal HPCs. Meningeal HPCs, in contrast to meningiomas, recur almost always despite seemingly complete removal and often metastasize elsewhere in the body. This difference between two sharply demarcated tumours must reflect particularly adhesive and infiltrative properties of HPC cells and not just higher proliferation potential.
