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

Human retinoblastoma occurs in two forms (familial and sporadic) both due to biallelic mutation of the RB1/p105 gene even if its loss is insufficient for malignancy. We have recently reported that loss of expression of the retinoblastoma-related protein pRb2/p130 correlates with low apoptotic index, suggesting that RB2/p130 gene could be involved in retinoblastoma. Mutational analysis of RB2/p130 in primary tumors showed a tight correlation between Exon 1 mutations and pRb2/p130 expression level in sporadic retinoblastoma. These mutations are located within a CpG-enriched region prone to de novo methylation. Analysis of RB2/p130 methylation status revealed that epigenetic events, most probably consequent to the Exon 1 mutations, determined the observed phenotype. Treatment of Weri-Rb1 cell line by 5-Aza-dC induced an increase in expression level of pRb2/p130, E2F1, p73 and p53. Overall, our results highlight a crucial role of epigenetic events in sporadic retinoblastoma, which opens a perspective for new therapeutic approaches.
