Serum histamine and acetylcholine variations as new noninvasive biochemical markers in staging of experimental hepatocellular carcinoma.

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
Angiogenesis is a major prerequisite for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and progression. The present study aims to assess the potential role of two endogenous regulators of angiogenesis histamine (His) and acetylcholine (Ach), as possible biochemical markers for staging of HCC. Five groups of rats were used in this study: a control healthy group (I), another 4 intoxicated groups used for the induction of HCC with a high dose of diethyl nitrosamine (DENA, 200 mg/kg, single I.P. dose), (II, III, IV, and V). Groups II, III, IV, and V were killed following 8, 16, 24, and 32 weeks after DENA injection, respectively. Serum level of His and Ach was estimated using high-performance liquid chromatography technique coupled with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was measured using ELISA technique along with liver histological examination for all groups. Progression of HCC was estimated by histopathological examination. The results exhibited prominent increase in serum His and Ach levels during the early stages of HCC in group II, III in comparison with the control, and then His serum level declined to the normal level during the last stage of HCC development (group V).However, Ach elevation continued. AFP serum level showed marked increase, till 32 weeks after hepatocarcinogenesis. The decreased histamine level, combined to elevated AFP, indicates an early stage, while continued elevation of Ach with decreased His levels indicates a later stage of HCC. The combination of these two neurotransmitters to AFP may contribute to a noninvasive biochemical staging for HCC.
