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

aimTo establish an experimental model for exploring the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the development of cholangiocarcinoma.

methodsRecombinant plasmid of HCV-core gene was constructed with molecular cloning technique and transfected into QBC939 cells with lipofection.After it was selected with G418, resistant colonies were obtained. The colonies were analysed by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting. The morphology was observed under transmission electron microscope(TEM) and microscope.

resultsThe recombinant plasmid was proved to carry the target gene by PCR and restriction enzymed mapping. Moreover, it could express HCV-C protein efficiently in QBC939 cells. The HCV-like particles were found in the cytoplasm by electron microscope, which were spherical with a diameter of 50 nm-80 nm possessing outer membrane. The transfected cells had lower differentiation and higher malignant degree under microscope.

conclusionBecause HCV-core gene could express steadily in cholangiocarcinoma cells,the transfected tumor cells(QBC939-HCVC) could be used to study the effect of HCV in the development of cholangiocarcinoma.
