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

Recent evidence indicated that endocan may be a potential cell marker and a new target for cancers including acute leukemia since the serum endocan level in patients with acute leukemia was associated with the status of the disease, i.e., endocan was higly expressed in untreated acute leukemia, but decreased after chemotherapy and increased again during bone marrow regeneration. The present study showed that there was high level expression of endocan in cytoplasm of bone marrow blasts of patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The expression level of endocan was significantly decreased when the patients underwent remission after chemotherapy and re-bounces back when the acute leukemia relapsed. No obvious change in expression of endocan was observed before and after chemotherapy if the patients showed no remission after chemotherapy. (N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)  retinamide), a potent anti-angiogenic agent, could not only down-regulate the expression of vascular epithelial growth factor, but also decrease endocan transcription and expression in NB4 cells, a human acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line. These observations suggest that endocan could act as a predictor for the severity and the prognosis of acute leukemia. The findings could be used as the basis for future targeted therapy directed against bone marrow angiogenesis in acute leukemia treatment.
