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

Loss of tumor suppressors that restrain important oncoproteins such as c-Myc may contribute to malignant progression. Bin1 is an adapter protein with features of a tumor suppressor that was identified through its interaction with and inhibition of the oncogenic properties of c-Myc. In this study, we analyzed the patterns of Bin1 expression in normal melanocytes and melanoma cells at different stages of tumor progression. Evidence is provided that Bin1 function is abrogated in melanoma cells by a mechanism based on aberrant splicing of a tissue-specific exon. Specifically, most melanoma cells inappropriately expressed exon 12A, which is spliced alternately into Bin1 isoforms found in brain but not into isoforms found in melanocytes and many other nonneuronal cells. Exon 12A sequences abolished the ability of Bin1 to inhibit malignant transformation by c-Myc or adenovirus E1A. Similarly, these sequences abolished the ability of Bin1 to induce programmed cell death in melanoma cells that endogenously expressed exon 12A. Our findings suggest that aberrant splicing of Bin1 may contribute to melanoma progression, and they define a mechanism by which the activity of a tumor suppressor can be eliminated in cells.
