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

The human large B-cell lymphoma cell line RC-K8 has a rearranged REL locus that directs the production of a chimeric protein, termed REL-NRG (Non-Rel Gene). In this study, we show that RC-K8 cells have constitutively nuclear heterodimeric and homodimeric DNA-binding complexes that consist of p50, REL, and REL-NRG. In vitro, IkappaBalpha can block the DNA-binding activity of wild-type REL homodimers but not REL-NRG homodimers. In vivo, REL-NRG cannot activate transcription of a kappaB site reporter plasmid, suggesting that it is a transcription repressing or blocking REL protein. By Western blotting, no IkappaBalpha protein can be detected in extracts of RC-K8 cells. The absence of IkappaBalpha protein in RC-K8 cells appears to be due to mutations that cause premature termination of translation in three of the four copies of the IKBA gene in RC-K8 cells. Re-expression of wild-type IkappaBalpha or a super-repressor form of IkappaBalpha in RC-K8 cells is cytotoxic; in contrast, expression of a dominant-negative form of IkappaB kinase does not affect the growth of RC-K8 cells. By cDNA microarray analysis, a number of previously identified Rel/NF-kappaB target genes are overexpressed in RC-K8 cells, consistent with there being transcriptionally active REL complexes. Taken together, our results suggest that the growth of RC-K8 cells is dependent on the activity of nuclear wild-type REL dimers, while the contribution of REL-NRG to the transformed state of RC-K8 cells is less clear. Nevertheless, the RC-K8 cell line is the first tumor cell line identified with mutations in genes encoding multiple proteins in the Rel/NF-kappaB signal transduction pathway.
