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 expression of the regulatory (RI and RII) and catalytic (C) subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase was found to depend on the growth-state in oestrogen-dependent DMBA-induced mammary adenocarcinomas as well as in uteri of the rat. Castration-induced atrophy of the oestrogen-dependent tissues was accompanied by a decrease of the concentration of regulatory subunits (RI and RII) relative to both the catalytic subunit (C) and total protein, decreasing the R/protein and R/C ratios. A hyperplastic burst caused by high-dose oestrogen-replacement treatment was associated with an increased level of RI and little change in RII and C levels. Only minor differences were noted for the expression of mRNA for the alpha and beta subtypes of RI, RII and C between rat uteri from castrated and oestrogen-treated animals, or between mammary tumours from normal and castrated animals. Expression of RI beta-mRNA was detected only in the uterus. Our findings provide an experimental correlate for the reported value of the parameter R/protein in human mammary cancer biopsies to predict prognosis and outcome of therapy. Due to the sensitivity of the R/protein ratio towards changes in extracellular protein content, we recommend the biologically more meaningful R/C ratio in further clinical evaluations of mammary tumour biopsies.
