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

aimPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) has emerged as a potential therapeutic target in several types of cancer. In ovarian carcinomas, limited and conflicting data on PPARgamma protein expression have been reported.

methodsThe immunoexpression of PPARgamma and its putative target cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX2) was investigated in tumour tissues from 80 patients with primary and corresponding recurrent ovarian serous carcinomas after conventional platinum-based chemotherapy.

resultsPPARgamma expression was observed in 29% of primary and recurrent carcinomas. In the recurrent tumours, PPARgamma expression inversely correlated with COX2 overexpression in both chemosensitive (p = 0.02) and chemoresistant (p = 0.04) carcinomas.

conclusionsThe data indicate that PPARgamma may represent a potential target for second-line treatment in ovarian cancers.
