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

objectiveA growing body of evidence suggests chronic inflammation triggers the process of endometrial carcinogenesis. Interleukin (IL) 17A is an important proinflammatory factor involved in the tumour angiogenesis processes of many solid tumours. This study aimed to characterize the function of IL17A in endometrioid-type endometrial carcinoma.

methodsLevels of IL17A in human endometrial tissues were analysed by immunohistochemistry.

resultsIL17A levels were significantly higher in endometrial carcinoma tissues than in endometrial hyperplasic tissues. Significantly increased proliferation and migration was observed in Ishikawa cells treated with IL17A versus controls. Investigation of the molecular mechanism revealed that IL17A treatment upregulated the ERα/ERβ protein ratio in Ishikawa cells.

conclusionsIL17A may be an important proinflammatory factor involved in promoting endometrial carcinogenesis.
