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

BACKGROUND/

aimDysregulation of claudin 6 (CLDN6) expression has been widely documented in various malignancies. CLDN6 is aberrantly expressed in many types of human carcinomas; however, its clinical significance in endometrial carcinoma has seldom been investigated. This study aimed to examine the immunohistochemical expression status of CLDN6 in low-grade, early-stage endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (LGES-EEC) and to assess its clinicopathological significance. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed immunostaining for CLDN6 in 118 tissue samples from LGES-EECs. Protein expression levels were interpreted using a semi-quantitative histoscore method. All statistical analyses were performed.

resultsCLDN6 was primarily localized along the membranes of the tumor cells. We considered histoscore ≥10 (the staining proportion ≥5% and intensity ≥2) as positive immunoreactivity for CLDN6. Twenty-six of the 118 patients (22.0%) showed CLDN6 positivity. Positive CLDN6 expression was significantly associated with deeper myometrial invasion (p=0.001), higher initial stage (p=0.015), and substantial lymphovascular space invasion (p=0.018).

conclusionAberrant CLDN6 expression is involved in tumor progression in LGES-EECs. In addition, targeting CLDN6 may offer clinical utility in patients with endometrial carcinoma.
