Effects of short-term estrogen treatment on the progression of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced premalignant mammary lesions in female Lewis rats.
Article in Medical molecular morphology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We studied the effects of short-term estrogen treatment (STET) on the progression of mammary lesions from ductal hyperplasia (DH) through ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) in the N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced rat mammary carcinogenesis model. Three-week-old female Lewis rats (n = 40) received an intraperitoneal injection of MNU (50 mg/kg). Three weeks later, a 3-week-release, 0.25-mg, 17β-estradiol pellet was subcutaneously implanted for 2 weeks in 20 rats (STET); the remaining 20 rats did not receive the estradiol pellets (age-matched control). All rats were killed at 12 weeks of age, and their abdominal-inguinal mammary glands were histologically examined. The incidence and multiplicity of DHs were similar between groups (STET, 90% and 3.9 ± 0.6 vs. age-matched controls, 80% and 3.0 ± 0.5). However, DCIS and IDC did not develop in STET rats, whereas DCIS (25% and 1.4 ± 0.2) and IDC (35% and 1.4 ± 0.3) developed in the age-matched controls. Immunoscores of estrogen and progesterone receptors and positive rate of proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in DH were similar in both groups, while the positive rate of cyclin D1 was significantly reduced in the STET group (P < 0.05). Thus, STET blocked the progression from DH to DCIS in MNU-induced mammary carcinogenesis, and decreased expression of cyclin D1 may play an important role in the blockade of cell transition from DH to DCIS.
