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

Objectives: To explore hypermethylated gene markers in cervical scraped cells that may be associated with endometrial cancer and validate their diagnostic role in endometrial cancer. Methods: In an exploratory cohort consisting of 40 paired endometrial tissue and cervical scraping samples, high-performance methylation-targeted genes associated with endometrial cancer were identified. In training and validation sets with 347 and 149 participants, respectively, methylated markers from cervical cytology together with other epidemiological and clinical parameters were assessed to determine their accuracy in detecting endometrial cancer. A decision tree was constructed using methylation markers, bleeding symptoms and endometrial thickness on transvaginal ultrasound (TVS). Results: In this exploratory study, eleven genes highly related to endometrial cancer were evaluated using a methylation array. In the training cohort, the highest AUC values for detecting endometrial cancer were 0.93, 0.91, and 0.89 for hypermethylated Conclusions: Cervical cytological DNA methylation assays of
