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

In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms of multistep hepatocarcinogenesis in SV40-T antigen gene-harboring transgenic mice, 9 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lines and 10 "preneoplastic" hepatocyte lines were established from the animals and their biological and molecular changes during culture were investigated. Three of the 9 HCC lines showed progression during culture in terms of growth rate and growth capability in soft agar and in nude mice. This progression was associated with the appearance of activated c-H-ras oncogene. Including these 3 lines, H-ras activation was observed in a total of 7 of the 9 HCC lines (78%), whereas it was found only in 1 of 10 (10%) "preneoplastic" hepatocyte lines. These data thus indicate that H-ras activation may be an event occurring at a relatively late stage of hepatocarcinogenesis in this transgenic mouse system and that it may serve towards completion of the carcinogenic process together with the T-antigen.
