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 examine DNA abnormalities in bladder papillary tumours induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN) in female rats, using image cytometric DNA analysis and cytogenetics. Thirty female rats were exposed to BBN in their drinking water for 20 weeks. One group of 10 animals served as controls. The animals exposed to BBN were killed at a rate of two per week, with the bladder being collected under aseptic conditions and those tumours with exophytic growth removed. The nuclear DNA content of the tumours was evaluated using image cytometric analysis. In two rats part of the tumour pieces was stipulated for culturing. Cytogenetic analysis was performed on at least 30 cells from each cell population and on both tumours. Papillary carcinomas were classified as low grade and high grade. DNA ploidy studies were carried out on 28 low-grade and 21 high-grade papillary carcinomas. Histograms obtained by image analysis showed that a normal urothelium was diploid; 28.6% and 100% of low-and high-grade papillary carcinomas were aneuploid respectively. Both tumours used for cell culture showed multiple numerical and structural chromosome alterations and several marker chromosomes. Image cytometric DNA analysis proved to be a good and reliable method for examining DNA alterations in papillary bladder carcinomas. The present findings establish that the DNA content is statistically different between low-grade and high-grade papillary carcinomas and that deviation from the diploid number is markedly higher in the high-grade ones. In addition, the occurrence of marker chromosomes seems to be related to the aggressiveness of the tumour.
