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

Differential expression of mRNA among animal strains is one of the mechanisms for their diversity. cDNA microarray analysis of the prostates of BUF/Nac (BUF) and ACI/N (ACI) rats, which show different susceptibility to prostate cancers, found 195 differentially expressed genes. To identify loci that control differential expression of 13 genes with diverse expression levels, their expression levels were measured by quantitative RT-PCR in 89 backcross rats, and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis was performed. Nine genes [Aldh1a1, Aldr1, Bmp6, Cdkn1a (p21), Cntn6, Ghr, Jund, Nupr1, and RT1-M3] were controlled by cis-acting loci. Cdkn1a, a cell cycle regulator and a candidate for a prostate cancer susceptibility gene, was mapped to its own locus and had polymorphisms, including a 119-bp insertion in the 5' upstream region in BUF rats. Four genes (Kclr, Pbsn, Psat1, and Ptn) were controlled by trans-acting loci. Pbsn, a prostate-specific gene on chromosome X, was controlled by a QTL on chromosome 8. Depending upon which gene that we selected from the genes widely used for normalization (Actb, Gapd, or Ppia), different QTL were mapped for Kclr, Psat1, and Ptn. Normalization using Actb most appropriately explained the expression levels in a congenic strain for chromosome 3. eQTL analysis with precise measurement of expression levels and appropriate normalization was shown to be effective for mapping loci that control gene expression in vivo.
