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 adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor gene is mutated in almost all human colonic cancers. Disturbances in Na(+) absorption have been observed in colonic cancer, and ion channels such as ether a go-go (Eag) or Ca(2+)-sensitive BK channels have been recognized for their oncogenic potential. APC ( Min/+ ) mice have reduced APC expression and develop multiple intestinal neoplasias (Min). Ion channels in the colonic epithelium were examined using electrophysiology and molecular techniques. APC ( Min/+ ) mice developed intestinal neoplasia and experienced a significant weight loss. Due to intestinal bleedings, the hematocrit was largely reduced and plasma aldosterone levels were enhanced. Rectal potential measurements in vivo indicated an increase in amiloride-sensitive Na(+) absorption in APC ( Min/+ ) mice. Quantitative Ussing chamber studies demonstrated enhanced Na(+) absorption via epithelial Na(+) channels (ENaC) and suggested enhanced activity of oncogenic BK and Eag-1 channels. Patch clamp and fluorescence measurements on isolated crypts suggested enhanced K(+) channel activity in the surface epithelium. ENaC-mRNA and membrane protein expression was enhanced in colonic surface epithelial cells. The data suggest that reduced expression of the APC gene with upregulation of the downstream proteins Akt and mTOR and subsequent hyperaldosteronism is paralleled by upregulation of oncogenic potassium channels and enhanced colonic Na(+) absorption.
