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

Susceptibility to spontaneous testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), a common cancer affecting young men, shows unusual genetic complexity. Despite remarkable progress in the genetics analysis of susceptibility to many cancers, TGCT susceptibility genes have not yet been identified. Various mutations that are inherited as Mendelian traits in laboratory mice affect susceptibility to spontaneous TGCTs on the 129/Sv inbred genetic background. We compared the frequency of spontaneous TGCTs in single- and double-mutant mice to identify combinations that show evidence of enhancer or suppressor effects. The lower-than-expected TGCT frequencies in mice with partial deficiencies of TRP53 and MGF-SLJ and in 129.MOLF-Chr19 (M19) consomic mice that were heterozygous for the A(y) mutation suggest that either these genes complement each other to restore normal functionality in TGCT stem cells or together these genes activate mechanisms that suppress incipient TGCTs. By contrast, the higher-than-expected TGCT frequencies in Mgf(Sl-J)-M19 compound heterozygous mice suggest that these mutations exacerbate each other's effects. Together, these results provide clues to the genetic and molecular basis for susceptibility to TGCTs in mice and perhaps in humans.
