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

The publication of the human genome sequence provided direction in the search for novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods for the treatment of human diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the hypothesis that the expression profile of genes involved in the regulation of angiogenesis may be a marker in endometrial cancer that facilitates the diagnosis and prognosis of patients, as well as the identification of novel therapeutic targets. The current study included 36 patients with grade (G) 1 to 3 endometrial cancer, and a control group of patients consisting of females that qualified for the removal of the uterus. Out of these, 28 samples (control, 3; G1, 7; G2, 12; and G3, 6) were selected for microarray analysis. Molecular analysis of the endometrial samples involved the extraction of total RNA, purification of the obtained extracts and subsequent analysis of the gene expression profiles using an oligonucleotide microarray technique (GeneChip® Human Genome U133A plates). The results indicated that the mRNA expression profile of genes involved in the regulation of angiogenesis varies depending on the degree of histological differentiation of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Similar results were obtained from descriptive statistics characterizing the expression profile of 691 mRNAs associated with the regulation of angiogenesis in the groups of patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma. In addition, the results of the present study indicated that neuropilin2 (NRP2) may serve an important role in the activity of endothelial cells, and may affect vascular endothelial growth factor, and potentially plexins and integrins via regulation of their functions. An understanding of how these proteins interact remains to be determined; however, elucidating these interactions may provide an explanation for the mechanisms underlying angiogenesis. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that NRP2 may be a valuable target for investigation in future pharmacological studies involving angiogenesis in endometrial cancer.
