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

Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) is a regulator of cell growth, which suppresses the proliferation of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells. Here we show that in HT-29 cells IFN-gamma transiently increased the cellular level of the tyrosine kinase Fer, whose functioning was found to be essential for the proliferation of malignant cell-lines. The transient elevation in the level of Fer, was followed by its down-regulation, an effect which was most prominent after 6-8 h of IFN-gamma treatment. Up- and down-regulation of Fer was paralleled by the activation and subsequent deactivation of Stat3, which is a potent oncogene and a putative substrate of the tyrosine kinase Fer. Moreover, IFN-gamma induced the association of Fer and Stat3 and the newly formed complex was most stable at the down-regulated states of the two proteins. Formation of the Fer/Stat3 complex was accompanied by an attenuation in cell-cycle progression and accumulation of cells in the G1 phase. Thus, Fer and Stat3 are two proliferation-promoting factors whose down-regulation could contribute to the cytostatic activity of IFN-gamma in colon carcinoma cells.
