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

Follicular thyroid carcinomas (FTC) arise through oncogenic pathways distinct from those involved in the papillary histotype. Recently, a t(2;3)(q13;p25) rearrangement, which juxtaposes the thyroid transcription factor PAX8 to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma1, was described in FTCs. In this report, we describe gene expression in 11 normal tissues, 4 adenomas, and 8 FTCs, with or without the PAX8-PPARgamma1 translocation, using custom 60-mer oligonucleotide microarrays. Results were confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction of 65 thyroid tissues and by immunohistochemistry. Statistical analysis revealed a pattern of 93 genes discriminating FTCs, with or without the translocation, that were morphologically undistinguishable. Although the expression of thyroid-specific genes was detectable, none appeared to be differentially regulated between tumors with or without the translocation. Differentially expressed genes included genes related to lipid/glucose/amino acid metabolism, tumorigenesis, and angiogenesis. Surprisingly, several PPARgamma target genes were up-regulated in PAX8-PPARgamma-positive FTCs such as angiopoietin-like 4 and aquaporin 7. Moreover many genes involved in PAX8-PPARgamma expression profile presented a putative PPARgamma-promoter site, compatible with a direct activity of the fusion product. These data identify several differentially expressed genes, such as FGD3, that may serve as potential targets of PPARgamma and as members of novel molecular pathways involved in the development of thyroid carcinomas.
