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

To investigate the role of ras gene activity in cellular transformation by polyomavirus, murine C3H10T1/2 cells were rendered ras deficient by transfection with an antisense ras gene construct. Ras deficiency resulted in a partial suppression of the polyomavirus-induced transformed phenotype. The production of viral middle T antigen and its association with pp60c-src, increased membrane-associated protein kinase C activity, and morphological transformation were unaffected by the downregulation of c-ras gene expression. On the other hand, stimulated proliferation, focus formation on confluent monolayers of normal cells, and colony formation in soft agar were all greatly reduced in cells containing reduced p21ras levels. It is concluded that ras gene activity is needed for full cell transformation by polyomavirus.
