DNA Topoisomerase II-alpha as a marker of cell proliferation in endocrine and other neoplasms.
Article in Endocrine pathology, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
DNA topoisomerases are enzymes that are able to link and unlink DNA strands. They are classified as type I or type II topoisomerase if they catalyze transient single-strand (topo I) or double-strand (topo II) DNA breaks. Topo II-alpha has been used as a proliferation marker and it can also serve as a molecular target for a variety of anticancer drugs that are used clinically.Topo II-alpha expression is similar to MIB1 immunoreactivity in breast, ovarian, cervix, gastric, endometrial, adrenocortical, and hematological malignancies. In a study of adrenocortical tumors with metastases topo II was significantly higher than in tumors without metastases.Studies of topo II-alpha expression may provide information about the biological behavior of specific tumors and may also provide insights into the role that this enzyme plays in the response of human cancers to topo II-targeted anticancer drugs.
