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

The Fas death receptor is a cell surface molecule involved in apoptosis as well as in proliferative or activating signals of many cells types, including T lymphocytes. Using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR analysis, we confirm that expression of this gene is scarcely perceptible in thymic lymphomas induced by gamma-irradiation in C57BL/6J mice. Notably, we also demonstrate for the first time that Fas expression is significantly upregulated in vivo both after single high dose of radiation and in thymic lymphoma-free mice. In addition, we determined its levels of expression in five mouse strains exhibiting different degrees of susceptibility (SPRET/Ei, SEG/Pas, BALB/cJ, C57BL/6J and RF/J). Interestingly, we found the highest levels of expression in SPRET/Ei and SEG/Pas strains (both derived from the Mus spretus species), which are known to have the most resistant phenotype, and the lowest levels in the most susceptible strains C57BL/6J and RF/J. DNA sequencing of the Fas promoter in all five strains showed many polymorphisms that can be classified into three functional haplotypes by using luciferase assays: (1) C57BL/6J and RF/J, (2) BALB/cJ and (3) SPRET/Ei and SEG/Pas. Promoter activities in response to single high doses of radiation correlated well with the levels of Fas expression and are consistent with the degree of strain susceptibility.
