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

A considerable fraction of families with HNPCC shows no germline mismatch repair (MMR) gene mutations. We previously detected 'hidden' MMR gene defects in 42% of such families, leaving the remaining 58% 'truly' mutation negative. Here, we characterized 50 colorectal carcinomas and five adenomas arising in HNPCC families; 24 truly MMR gene mutation negative and 31 MMR gene mutation positive. Among 31 tumors from MMR gene mutation positive families, 25 (81%) had active Wnt signaling as indicated by aberrant beta-catenin localization with or without CTNNB1 mutations, compared to only 7/18 tumors from MMR gene mutation negative families (39%; P=0.005). CGH studies revealed stable profiles in 9/16 (56%) of MMR gene mutation negative tumors, which was significantly associated with membranous beta-catenin (P=0.005). Tumors with membranous beta-catenin from the MMR gene mutation negative group also showed low frequency of TP53 mutations compared to those with nuclear beta-catenin. Thus, a majority of the MMR gene mutation negative cases exhibited a novel molecular pattern characterized by the paucity of changes in common pathways to colorectal carcinogenesis. This feature distinguishes the MMR gene mutation negative families from both HNPCC families linked to MMR defects and sporadic cases, suggesting the involvement of novel predisposition genes and pathways in such families.
