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

A link between elevated luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, GATA-4 and LH receptor (LHCGR) expression and gonadotropin-dependent adrenocortical tumorigenesis in humans and mice has been shown. To assess the mechanistic tumorigenic interrelationships between these factors, we transgenically expressed Gata4 under the 21-hydroxylase promoter (Cyp21a1, 21-OH) in C57Bl/6N mice. There was a gradual age-dependent increase of GATA-4 expression only in 21-OH-GATA-4 (TG) female adrenals, in association with slowly progressing neoplasia of non-steroidogenic spindle-shaped A cells in the subcapsular cortex. Gonadectomy (GDX), apparently through direct action of elevated serum LH, markedly enhanced the adrenocortical neoplasia, which now also appeared in GDX TG males. The neoplastic areas of the post-GDX TG adrenals contained, besides A cells, larger lipid-laden, steroidogenically active and LHCGR-positive B cells. Prolonged (>10 months) exposure to elevated post-GDX LH levels resulted in formation of adrenocortical adenomas in the TG mice. Intact and GDX TG mouse adrenals displayed elevated FOG-2 and decreased GATA-6 expression. Additionally, increased expression/activation of components of the Inhbb-Acvr2a-Acvr1c-Smad2/3 signaling system was observed in 12-month-old GDX TG adrenals. Our findings show that two distinct GATA-4-dependent populations of neoplastic adrenocortical cells form: non-steroidogenic LH-independent A cells and steroidogenic LH-dependent B cells.
