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 aim of the present study was to analyze the expression profile of unfolded protein response (UPR) genes in endometrioid ovarian carcinoma and to evaluate its possible involvement in the neoplastic progression of endometriosis. An experimental retrospective pilot study was conducted on women with a diagnosis of endometrioid ovarian carcinoma at FIGO stage IA, ovarian endometriotic cysts or healthy subjects without a previous diagnosis of endometriosis. The expression profiles of UPR genes (ATF6, GRP78, CHOP and XBP1) were compared among ovaries with endometrioid ovarian cancer, endometriotic ovarian cysts, healthy contralateral ovaries and eutopic and healthy endometrial tissues. A significantly higher expression of ATF6 and GRP78 was detected in the affected ovaries in comparison with the healthy contralateral ovaries, while CHOP and XBP1 exhibited a significantly lower expression. XBP1 was overexpressed in endometrial tissues and its expression gradually decreased in endometriosis cysts and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma. These results support the hypothesis that alterations in the UPR genes CHOP and XBP1 are involved in the neoplastic progression of endometrioid ovarian cancer and are acquired following ovarian localization of ectopic endometrial cells.
