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

Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is associated with asbestos exposure and the presence of SV40 viral sequences. Recently, we reported that SV40 infection of human mesothelial cells (HM) causes aberrant methylation of the tumor suppressor gene (TSG) RASSF1A. We investigated methylation of 12 genes by methylation-specific PCR in 63 MMs, six MM cell lines, and two foci of SV40-infected HM. Methylation percentages of the tested genes ranged from 3 to 65%. The frequencies of HPP1, RASSF1A, Cyclin D2, and RRAD methylation, and the value of the methylation index, were significantly higher in SV40 sequence-positive MMs than in SV40-negative MMs. Methylation of TMS1 and HIC-1 was associated with shortened survival. SV40-infected HM showed progressive aberrant methylation of seven genes (RASSF1A, HPP1, DcR1, TMS1, CRBP1, HIC-1, and RRAD) during serial passage. Our results demonstrate a relationship between SV40 and methylation of multiple genes in MM, indicating that the virus plays a role in the pathogenesis of MM.
