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

The objective of this study was to investigate the pattern of expression and the localization of Notch-1, Notch-4 and Jagged-1 in physiological and pathological human endometrium and to evaluate the expression levels of two major regulators of the G1 checkpoint, namely cyclin D1 and p21. Sixty samples of physiological endometrium and 60 samples of pathological endometrium were used for the study. Evaluation of the expression level and the distribution of Notch pathway members and cell-cycle proteins was performed by immunohistochemistry. In the physiological endometrium we observed an increase of Notch-1 and Jagged-1 from proliferative to secretory phase and an opposite trend for Notch-4. In menopause, the level of expression of all three members of the Notch pathway decreased. We also observed a cyclin D1 increase from proliferative to secretory phase. By contrast, p21 showed a slight increase from proliferative to secretory phase. In the pathological endometrium, we observed an increase of Notch-1 expression from polyps to carcinoma and decrease for Notch-4 and Jagged-1. Moreover, we observed a higher expression of cyclin D1 in all the endometrial pathologies. By contrast, the expression level of p21 slightly increased from polyps to carcinoma. We concluded that in human endometrium Notch-4 seems to be more involved in controlling proliferation, whereas Notch-1 seems to be more involved in differentiation programming. Deregulation of these functions may induce the onset of several endometrial pathologies from polyps to cancer.
