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

An association between deregulation of homeobox (HOX) gene expression and oncogenic transformation has been recently reported in human tumors. In this study, we investigated HOX gene expression and mutation in cervical carcinoma cells. Using reverse transcription-PCR, 11 human cervical carcinoma cell lines and 14 normal cervical tissue samples were examined for mRNA expression of the 39 class I HOX genes. DNA samples from 11 cell lines were tested for mutations in exons 1 and 2 of the HOXA10 and A13 genes using overlapping primer pairs which also cover intron 1 of these genes. HOXA1, B2, B4, C5, C10 and D13 genes were expressed in 8, 7, 9, 9, 9 and 11 of 11 cervical carcinoma cell lines, respectively, but not in any of the normal cervical tissues. HOXA9, A11, A13, B5, C4, D3 and D9 genes were expressed in all cell lines and normal tissues. In contrast, 13 of 39 HOX genes were silent in all materials examined. Single-strand conformational polymorphism and sequence analysis revealed a C insertion after base 1042 and/or a G to C substitution at base 1113 in intron 1 of the HOXA13 gene in 4 of 11 cell lines, however, neither deletions nor mutations were detected in exons 1 and 2 of the HOX A10 and A13 genes. Our data suggest that the expression of HOXA1, B2, B4, C5, C10 and D13 genes might be involved in the process leading to the transformation of normal cervical cells.
