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

Clinical and epidemiological studies have shown that estrogen may be involved in the development and progression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) is a novel seven-transmembrane estrogen receptor that functions alongside traditional nuclear estrogen receptors (ERs) to regulate the cellular responses to estrogen. The purpose of this study was to examine GPER1, EGFR and CXCR1 expression in PTC and to assess the association of their expression with clinicopathological indicators. GPER1, EGFR and CXCR1 protein expression in 129 PTCs, 61 nodular hyperplasia and 118 normal thyroid tissue specimens were analyzed using immunohistochemistry. The protein expression levels of these three molecules were up-regulated in PTCs. High protein expression of GPER1, EGFR and CXCR1 was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (LNM) (P ≤ 0.001). Furthermore, GPER1, EGFR and CXCR1 protein expression were correlated with one another. Concomitant high expression of these molecules had stronger correlation with LNM than did each alone (P = 0.002 for GPER1/EGFR, P = 0.013 for GPER1/CXCR1, P = 0.018 for EGFR/CXCR1 and P < 0.001 for GPER1/EGFR/CXCR1). Additionally, GPER1, EGFR and CXCR1 mRNA expression was assessed in 30 PTCs, 10 nodular hyperplasia and 10 normal thyroid tissue specimens using real-time RT-PCR. GPER1, EGFR and CXCR1 mRNA expression levels were up-regulated in PTCs, and high mRNA expression of GPER1, EGFR and CXCR1 was significantly correlated with LNM (P < 0.001 for all these three molecules). These results demonstrated that the evaluation of GPER1, EGFR and CXCR1 expression in PTC may be useful in predicting the risk of LNM.
