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

aimTo investigate the regulation of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) gene expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines.

methodsThe mRNA and protein levels of PTEN were detected by Northern blot and Western blot in HCC cell lines, respectively. Plasmids containing different fragments of PTEN promoter with Luciferase reporter were constructed and transiently transfected into HCC cell lines to study the promoter activity. DNA analysis and RT-PCR were performed to detect the mutation of PTEN promoter and PTEN cDNA.

resultsEither protein or mRNA levels of PTEN in L02 cells (as a control) were significantly higher than that in HCC cell lines. The profile of PTEN promoter activity in 8 cell lines was closely correlated with levels of PTEN mRNA and PTEN protein. Furthermore, the sequence analysis of 8 cells lines showed no mutation in the region of PTEN promoter and PTEN cDNA.

conclusionPTEN expression is down-regulated in HCC cell lines probably due to loss of activity of PTEN promoter.
