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 conditional expression of the v-mos and Ha-ras(EJ) oncogenes in NIH 3T3 cells leads to the accumulation of a 23-kDa protein (p23) (R. Klemenz, S. Hoffmann, R. Jaggi, and A.-K. Werenskiold, Oncogene 4:799-803, 1989). We purified p23 to homogeneity and determined part of the amino acid sequence. The obtained sequence is identical with that of the eye lens protein alpha B crystallin. Northern (RNA) blot and Western immunoblot experiments were performed to demonstrate that alpha B crystallin mRNA and protein do indeed accumulate as a consequence of v-mos and Ha-ras oncogene expression. Comparison of cDNA clones obtained from the mRNA of eye lenses and of oncogene-expressing fibroblasts revealed identity between them. The major transcription initiation site of the alpha B crystallin gene in our experimental system was shown by primer extension experiments to be identical with the one used in eye epithelial cells. In addition, we identified a second minor initiation site 49 nucleotides further upstream. Serum growth factors did not stimulate alpha B crystallin expression in growth-arrested cells.
