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 transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)beta is critical for normal growth and differentiation of the mammary gland. The intronless C/EBPbeta gene encodes a single mRNA that produces three protein isoforms, C/EBPbeta-1, -2, and -3, which share a common basic-leucine zipper domain at their C-terminus, but are distinguished at their N-termini by the in-frame methionine codon used to initiate translation. Although C/EBPbeta-1 and -2 are both transactivators, they likely perform distinct functions in mammary epithelial cells. C/EBPbeta-1 is the only isoform detected in normal human mammary tissue. In breast cancer cell lines, C/EBPbeta-1 is absent, and the C/EBPbeta-2 transactivator is expressed. Moreover, our data suggest that C/EBPbeta-2 is upregulated in human primary breast tumors. To assess C/EBPbeta-2's ability to participate in the transformation process, we generated recombinant retrovirus selectively encoding epitope-tagged C/EBPbeta-2. Strikingly, 10 days after infecting a normal human mammary epithelial cell line (MCF10A) with C/EBPbeta-2 virus, transformed subcultures were readily generated. Specifically, C/EBPbeta-2-overexpressing MCF10A cells form foci, gain anchorage independence, express markers associated with having undergone an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and acquire an invasive phenotype. These studies, and our previous observations, provide supportive evidence that deregulated expression of C/EBPbeta-2 contributes to malignant conversion of the human breast.
