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

Estrogens are important for the development of the mammary gland and strongly associated with oncogenesis in this tissue. The biological effects of estrogens are mediated through the estrogen receptor (ER), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. The estrogen/ER signaling pathway plays a central role in mammary gland development, regulating the expression and activity of other growth factors and their receptors. The generation of the ER knockout (ERKO) mouse has made it possible to directly understand the contribution of ER in mammary development and has provided an unique opportunity to study estrogen action in carcinogenesis. A mammary oncogene (Wnt-1) was introduced into the ERKO background to determine if the absence of the ER would affect the development of tumors induced by oncogenic stimulation. The development, hyperplasia, and tumorigenesis in mammary glands from the ERKO/Wnt-1 mouse line are described. These studies provide the impetus to evaluate the effect of other oncogenes in mammary tumorigenesis in the absence of estrogen/ER signaling.
