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

To identify genes that are frequently downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a panel of putative underexpressed genes was first established by an in-house cDNA macroarray method. Two different assays, semiquantitative RT-PCR combined with Northern analysis and customized cDNA microarray analysis, were used to screen through these genes and the results were compared. Several genes, some with unknown function, were confirmed to be downregulated by both the methods. The effect of a downregulated gene, BMAL2, on cell proliferation was examined. Overexpression of antisense BMAL2 RNA in 293EBNA cells resulted in reduced cell cycle time, increased plating efficiency in soft agar, diminished TNF-alpha-induced increment of CPP32/caspase-3 activity, and a reduced proportion of cells in the G2 phase with a concomitantly increased proportion of cells in the S phase. In conclusion, by combining three different methods, we have obtained a panel of frequently down regulated genes in HCC, including BMAL2. Antisense overexpression of BMAL2 enhances cell proliferation.
