Comparison of osteopontin expression in endometrioid endometrial cancer and ovarian endometrioid cancer.
Trial report in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
This study compared the DNA, RNA, and protein levels of osteopontin (OPN) in endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) and ovarian endometrioid cancer (OEC). In total, 63 cancer cases (EEC: 33, OEC: 30) were included. Of these, 47 (EEC: 26, OEC: 21) were examined by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and 48 (EEC: 25, OEC: 23) were examined by quantitative PCR. OPN expression was detected in 15 (50.0%) of 30 EECs and in 14 (50.0%) of 28 OECs. There was no significant difference in the percentage of positive cytoplasmic OPN staining between the EECs and OECs (12.8 vs 10.4; p = 0.6811). The correlation between relative mRNA and protein expression levels was significant in both the EECs and OECs; however, the correlation between relative DNA and mRNA levels was not significant. There was no significant difference in OPN expression between the EECs and OECs.
