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

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease primarily affecting women of childbearing age, which gives rise to pelvic pain calling for multiple operations, and sometimes leading to infertility. However, the etiology of endometriosis remains poorly understood. In this study we investigated the roles of two Ubiquitin E3 Ligases, namely hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) and mouse double minute 2 (MDM2), in the abnormal estrogenic activity in endometriosis. We first collected endometrial tissues from 91 cases of endometriosis and 78 cases of uterine myomas. Next, we established a murine endometriosis model by ectopic endometrial tissue implantation. In other studies, we isolated human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) were isolated from the endometrial tissues, and performed HA- or FLAG-immunoprecipitation assays and immunoblotting with an anti-ubiquitin antibody to test the interactions among BAG2, CHIP, MDM2, estrogen receptor α (ERα), and ERβ. The expression of ERα was downregulated while that of ERβ, BAG2, and MDM2 was upregulated in human endometriosis and in the mouse model. CHIP degraded ERβ instead of ERα
