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

Cre-mediated deletion of exons 3 and 4 of the mouse Brca2 gene occurring specifically in mammary epithelial cells of conditional female mutants carrying a combination of loxP-modified and null Brca2 alleles resulted in a high incidence (77%) of breast tumors that were often palpable and developed in one or more glands after long latency (time for median tumor-free survival of approximately 1.4 years; total of 40 tumors in 20 animals). These invasive adenocarcinomas were histologically quite uniform, exhibiting predominantly a solid, nodular tumor pattern with very few variants, in striking contrast to the morphological heterogeneity of analogous Brca1-associated tumors. The karyotypes of tumor cells lacking Brca2 had various chromosomal aberrations and ranged from diploid to hypertetraploid, but this wide variability was incongruous with the histological appearance of carcinomas that was comparable between specimens. The implications of these observations in the context of models positing that Brca2 is involved in the maintenance of genomic stability are discussed.
