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

Endoglin (CD105, END) is upregulated in proliferating endothelial cells, suggesting potential therapeutic properties. However, it is not clear whether endoglin mediates an enhanced proliferative rate or may be upregulated as part of a negative feedback loop. To gain insights into context-dependent and cell type-dependent regulatory effects of endoglin, we studied its role properties in human ovarian carcinoma-derived endothelial cells (ODMECs). We isolated and cultured primary ODMECs from epithelial ovarian carcinoma tissue. ODMECs had higher expression of endoglin and VEGFR-2, and also exhibited enhanced spontaneous formation of vessel-like structures in vitro. Transfection of siRNA targeting endoglin in ODMECs cells resulted in the reduction of the proliferation and tube formation. These results indicate that a subset of ODMECs display abnormal angiogenic properties and this phenotype was blocked by decreasing endoglin levels, suggesting endoglin is essential for stimulating angiogenesis, and targeting it may be an attractive approach to anti-angiogenesis therapy for ovarian carcinoma.
