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

Cytogenetic and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies demonstrated chromosome 3p deletions in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). We recently cloned the tumor suppressor gene FHIT (fragile histidine triad) at 3p14.2, one of the most frequently deleted chromosomal regions in TCC of the bladder, and showed that it is the target of environmental carcinogens. Abnormalities at the FHIT locus have been found in tumors of the lung, breast, cervix, head and neck, stomach, pancreas, and clear cell carcinoma of the kidney. We examined six TCC derived cell lines (SW780, T24, Hs228T, CRL7930, CRL7833, and HTB9) and 30 primary TCC of the bladder for the integrity of the FHIT transcript, using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to investigate a potential role of the FHIT gene in TCC of the bladder. In addition, we tested expression of the Fhit protein in the six TCC-derived cell lines by Western blot analysis and in 85 specimens of primary TCCs by immunohistochemistry. Three of the six cell lines (50%) did not show the wild-type FHIT transcript, and Fhit protein was not detected in four of the six cell lines (67%) tested. Fhit expression also was correlated with pathological and clinical status. A significant correlation was observed between reduced Fhit expression and advanced stage of the tumors. Overall, 26 of 30 (87%) primary TCCs showed abnormal transcripts. Fhit protein was absent or greatly reduced in 61% of the TCCs analyzed by immunohistochemistry. These results suggested that loss of Fhit expression may be as important in the development of bladder cancer as it is for other neoplasms caused by environmental carcinogens.
