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 the role of Rb1 in gastrointestinal (GI) tumors, we generated mice with an Apc(1638N) allele, Rb(tm2brn) floxed alleles, and a villin-cre transgene (RBVCA). These animals had exon 19 deleted from Rb1 throughout the GI tract. We have shown previously that Rb1 deficiency is insufficient for GI tumor initiation, with inactivation of an Apc allele capable of overcoming the insufficiency. In this study we demonstrate that RBVCA mice have reduced median survival because of an increase in tumor incidence and multiplicity in the cecum and the proximal colon. Large intestinal tumors are predominantly adenomas, whereas the tumors of the small intestine are a mixture of adenomas and adenocarcinomas. We find truncation mutations to the second Apc allele in tumors of both the large and small intestine. Expression profiles of duodenal and cecal tumors relative to each other show unique gene subsets up and down regulated. Substantial expression patterns compare to human colorectal cancer, including recapitulation of embryonic genes. Our results indicate that Rb1 has significant influence over tumor location in the GI tract, and that both cecal and duodenal tumors initiate through inactivation of Apc. Expression profile analysis indicates the two tumor types differentially regulate distinct sets of genes that are over-expressed in a majority of human colorectal carcinomas.
