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

In the present study, we investigated chondrocytic characterization for newly established human chondrosarcoma cell lines. A chondrosarcoma cell line, HCS-TG, was established by the implantation of grade-2 human chondrosarcoma into athymic mice. Cloning of HCS-TG cells from passage 17 was performed. After cell cloning, two clonal-cell lines (HCS-TG C3 and E2) with good proliferative activities were obtained. These cell lines in monolayer culture retained a polygonal morphology. Their doubling times were 68 h and 45 h, respectively. mRNA expressions of type-I, -II, -X, and -XI collagens and aggrecan core protein were detected on reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression of type-II collagen was confirmed in each cell line using Western blotting. However, there was no expression of type-I collagen. Moreover, gelatin zymography revealed that both cell lines produced extracellular matrices with matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9. The parental HCS-TG cells had tumorigenicity in athymic mice; however, C3 and E2 were not tumorigenic. New clonal-cell lines HCS-TG C3 and E2 derived from human chondrosarcoma are morphologically chondrocytic in serial monolayer cultures and express chondrocytic phenotypes.
