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 Dbl oncogene is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rho GTPases and its activity has been linked to the regulation of gene transcription. Dbl oncogene expression in NIH3T3 cells leads to changes in morphological and proliferative properties of these cells, inducing a highly transformed phenotype. To gain insights into Dbl oncogene-induced transformation we compared gene expression profiles between Dbl oncogene-transformed and parental NIH3T3 cells by cDNA microarray. We found that Dbl oncogene expression is associated with gene expression modulation involving upregulation of 51 genes and downregulation of 49 genes. Five of the overexpressed genes identified are known to exert antiproliferative functions. Our observations suggest that the expression of Dbl oncogene in NIH3T3 may lead to the induction of genes associated with cell cycle arrest, possibly through the activation of stress-induced kinases.
