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 relationship between the malignant behavior of rat glioma cells and expression of the differentiation antigen glial fibrillary acidic protein (GF), we assayed the tumorigenicity and metastatic ability of P635 and its GF+ or GF- clones. We injected P635 (GF+) and clone 45 (GF-) cells intramuscularly in nude mice. Both lines formed local tumors which metastasized to lungs with equal efficiency. We then injected these lines intravenously in nude mice. Both produced experimental metastases in lungs and other organs with equal efficiency. Finally we injected P635 and several GF+ and GF- clones into the chorioallantoic membrane veins of naturally immune-deficient chick embryos and measured cell growth in embryonic liver. We again found that all clones survived and grew equally well. P635 cells are capable of extracranial growth and metastasis, two important features of the malignant phenotype. We conclude that GF in P635 is a neutral marker with respect to tumorigenicity and metastatic ability.
