Enzymatic activities of uridine and thymidine phosphorylase in normal and cancerous uterine cervical tissues.
Article in Human cell, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In this study, the preliminary analyses were conducted of enzymatic activities of uridine phosphorylase (UP) and thymidine phosphorylase (TP) in normal tissues and cancer tissues of the uterine cervix. The study was performed on 27 patients of cervical cancer, treated first in our hospital. Normal cervical tissues obtained from 15 patients undergoing hysterectomy for benign diseases were used as controls. The supernatant of the homogenated cervical tissues and the stroma (5-FU and ribose-1-P or deoxyribose-1-P) were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, and then the UP and TP activities calculated. TP activity was significantly greater than UP activity (P < 0.0001). Both UP and TP showed significantly greater activity in cancer tissues than in normal tissues (P < 0.0001). In the TP activity of the cancer tissues, there was no significant difference among the histological types, while the TP activity tended to be significantly higher in the cases with lymph node metastasis. These results showed that the TP-mediated route seemed important as the 5FU metabolic pathway in the uterine cervical tissues, and TP enzymatic activity might be associated with lymph node metastasis.
