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

Neovascularization is a common feature of many human cancers, but relatively few molecular defects have been demonstrated in genes regulating angiogenesis. Decreased expression of Thrombospondin-1 (THBS1), a P53 and Rb regulated angiogenesis inhibitor, has been observed in some human tumors, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). To study whether methylation-associated inactivation is involved in down-regulating THBS1 expression in cancer, we analysed the methylation status of THBS1 in several cell lines and primary tumors. Three cell lines (RKO, CEM and RAJI) were completely methylated at several CpG sites within the THBS1 5' CpG island, and had no detectable expression by RT-PCR. THBS1 expression was readily reactivated using the methylation-inhibitor 5-deoxy-azacytidine in all three lines. Furthermore, THBS1 methylation was present in 33% (14/42) of primary GBMs. Thus, de novo methylation may serve as a potential way to inactivate THBS1 expression in human neoplasms.
