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

Endoglin is an integral membrane glycoprotein primarily expressed in the vascular endothelium, but also found on macrophages and stromal cells. It binds several members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta family of growth factors and modulates TGF-beta(1)-dependent cellular responses. However, it lacks cytoplasmic signaling motifs and is considered as an auxiliary receptor for TGF-beta. We show here that endoglin is expressed in mouse and human epidermis and in skin appendages, such as hair follicles and sweat glands, as determined by immunohistochemistry. In normal interfollicular epidermis, endoglin was restricted to basal keratinocytes and absent in differentiating cells of suprabasal layers. Follicular expression of endoglin was high in hair bulb keratinocytes, but decreased in parts distal from the bulb. To address the role of endoglin in skin carcinogenesis in vivo, Endoglin heterozygous mice were subjected to long-term chemical carcinogenesis treatment. Reduction in endoglin had a dual effect during multistage carcinogenesis, by inhibiting the early appearance of benign papillomas, but increasing malignant progression to highly undifferentiated carcinomas. Our results are strikingly similar to those previously reported for transgenic mice overexpressing TGF-beta(1) in the epidermis. These data suggest that endoglin might attenuate TGF-beta(1) signaling in normal epidermis and interfere with progression of skin carcinogenesis.
