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

purposeTo confirm the presence of the susceptible gene for the thymoma development in the region that was assumed by the previous linkage study by Oyabu et al. (J Natl Cancer Inst 91:279-282, 1999), we tried to establish a congenic strain of rats.

methodsBackcrossings between the BUF/Mna strain as a donor strain and the ACI/NMna strain as an inbred partner were repeated for 12 generations, examining whether rats had the thymoma development region, and then homozygous rats were yielded by mating among the heterozygotes. To detect the phenotypic expression, heterozygous ACI.BUF/Mna-Tsr1/+ (ACI-Tsr1/+) rats were generated by crossing female ACI.BUF/Mna-Tsr1/Tsr1 (ACI-Tsr1/Tsr1) rats with male ACI/NMna rats and were maintained for 24 months.

resultsThese ACI-Tsr1/+ rats produced thymoma in 71%, showing a dominant trait. The thymomas were of the lymphocyte predominant type, as those developed in rats of the original BUF/Mna strain.

conclusionsThus, a new rat congenic strain, ACI-Tsr1/Tsr1, was established, revealing that thymoma develops in the dominant trait in ACI-Tsr1/+ rats.
