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

We have analysed the pattern of beta-catenin expression by immunohistochemistry in mice singly or multiply mutant for Apc, p53 and Msh2. We observed increased expression of beta-catenin in all intestinal lesions arising on an ApcMin+/- background. In all categories of lesion studied mosaic patterns of beta-catenin expression were observed, with the proportion of cells showing enhanced expression decreasing with increasing lesion size. p53 status did not alter these patterns. We also show that beta-catenin dysregulation marks pancreatic abnormalities occurring in ApcMin+/- and (ApcMin+/-, p53-/-) mice. In these mice both adenomas and adenocarcinomas of the pancreas arose and were characterized by increased expression of beta-catenin. We have extended these analyses to intestinal lesions arising in mice mutant for the mismatch repair gene Msh2. In these mice, increased expression of beta-catenin was again observed. However, in contrast with ApcMin+/- mice, a subset of lesions retained normal expression. Taken together, these findings show that increased expression of beta-catenin is an efficient marker of early neoplastic change in both murine intestine and pancreas in Apc mutant mice. However, we also show that dysregulation of beta-catenin is not an obligate step in the development of intestinal lesions, and therefore that genetic events other than the loss of Apc function may initiate the transition from normal to neoplastic epithelium.
