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

backgroundNeuropilins (NRPs) participate in many processes related to cancer development such as angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and metastasis. Although endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecological cancers, it has not been studied in terms of NRPs expression.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the potential utility of NRPs as important factors in the diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancer.

methodsOur study consisted of 45 women diagnosed with endometrial cancer at the following degrees of histological differentiation: G1, 17; G2, 15; G3, 13 cases. The control group included 15 women without neoplastic changes. The immunohistochemical reactions were evaluated using light microscopy.

resultsWe did not detect the expression of NRP-1 and NRP-2 in the control group. NRP-1 expression was found exclusively in cancer cells. It was higher in G2 and G3 and reached about 190% of G1. NRP-2 expression was observed in the endothelium and was similar across all three cancer grades. In cancer cells, NRP-2 expression increased with the degree of histological differentiation.

conclusionNRP1 and NRP2 are candidates for complementary diagnostic molecular markers and promising new targets for molecular, personalized anticancer therapies.
