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

Menopausal estrogen (E2) replacement therapy increases the risk of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC). Whether E2 is tumorigenic or promotes expansion of undiagnosed preexisting disease is unknown. To determine E2 effects on tumor promotion, we developed an intraperitoneal mouse xenograft model using ZsGreen fluorescent ER(-) 2008 and ER(+) PEO4 human EOC cells. Tumor growth was quantified by in vivo fluorescent imaging. In ER(+) tumors, E2 significantly increased size, induced progesterone receptors, and promoted lymph node metastasis, confirming that ERs are functional and foster aggressiveness. Laser-captured human EOC cells from ER(-) and ER(+) xenografted tumors were profiled for expression of E2-regulated genes. Three classes of E2-regulated EOC genes were defined, but <10% were shared with E2-regulated breast cancer genes. Because breast cancer selective ER modulators (SERM) are therapeutically ineffective in EOC, we suggest that our EOC-specific E2-regulated genes can assist pharmacologic discovery of ovarian-targeted SERM.
