Immunoexpression of proliferation and apoptosis markers in oral vascular anomalies.
Article in Brazilian dental journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The biological behavior of lesions is highly dependent on the imbalance between their proliferative and apoptotic capacity. This study evaluated a correlation between the proliferative and apoptotic rates of different oral vascular anomalies (VAs) by analyzing the immunoexpression of proliferation (Ki-67) and apoptosis (Bcl-2 and Bax) markers in endothelial cells of 20 cases of GLUT-1 positive infantile hemangiomas (IHs), 20 cases of pyogenic granulomas (PGs) and 20 cases of vascular malformations (VMs). Immunoexpression analysis of Ki-67, Bcl-2 and Bax revealed a lower median percentage of positive cells in VMs cases compared to IHs and PGs cases (P <0.001). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed significantly higher percentages of immunostaining for Bax than for Bcl-2 in IHs (P = 0.048). In the group of PGs, a positive correlation was observed between the immunoexpressions of Ki-67 and Bax (r = 0.476; P = 0.034). Although oral IHs, PGs and VMs present similar clinical and histopathological features, each of these lesions has its etiopathogenic particularities. The results of this study suggest that different biological behaviors of VAs may be related to differences in the proliferative and apoptotic profiles of their endothelial cells.
