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

aimsTo describe a cytogenetic technique suitable for the rapid assessment of global gene expression that is based on comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH), and to use it to understand the relation between genetic amplifications and gene expression.

methodsWhereas traditional CGH uses DNA as test and reference in hybridisations, expressive genomic hybridisation (EGH) uses globally amplified mRNA as test and normal DNA as reference. EGH is a rapid and powerful tool for localising and studying global gene expression profiles and correlating them with loci of genetic amplifications using traditional CGH.

resultsEGH was used to correlate genetic amplifications detected by CGH with the expression profile of two independent cell lines-Colo320 and T47D. Although many amplifications resulted in overexpression, other amplifications were partially or completely silenced at the cytogenetic level.

conclusionThis technique will assist in the analysis of overexpressed genes within amplicons and could resolve a controversial issue in cancer cytogenetics; namely, the relation between genetic amplifications and overexpression.
