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

Connexin32 knockout mice (Cx32-KO) exhibit increased chemical- and radiation-induced liver and lung tumor formation with many lung tumors demonstrating decreased levels of the tumor suppressor p27KIP1. To determine if p27 deficiency alters Cx32-influenced tumorigenesis, we have generated a Cx32/p27 double-deficient mouse strain (DKO) and show here that exposure of these mice to X-ray radiation resulted in an increase or decrease in tumorigenesis depending on the tissue. Several tissues were highly sensitive to loss of p27 tumor suppressor function (intestine, adrenal, pituitary) resulting in an increased overall tumor burden in DKO mice compared to both wild-type (P<0.005) and Cx32-KO mice (P=0.066). However, additional deletion of p27 in a Cx32-KO background resulted in a statistically significant decrease in the liver tumor incidence suggesting that Cx32 and p27 pathways mechanistically interact. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed an increased percentage of Cx32-KO liver and lung tumors harboring active mitogen-activated protein kinase (Erk1, Erk2) pathways in contrast to lower percentages of activated wild-type (P<0.005) and DKO tumors (P=0.027). Increased MAPK activation in liver tumors did not correlate with Ha-ras codon-61 mutation status. This study demonstrates that tissues dependent on Cx32 tumor suppression, such as the liver and lung, exhibit altered tumorigenesis and tumor biology (MAPK pathway activation) related to p27 status.
