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

First described as a cell cycle activator, RGC-32 is both an activator and a substrate for CDC2. Deregulation of RGC-32 expression has been detected in a wide variety of human cancers. We have now shown that RGC-32 is expressed in precancerous states, and its expression is significantly higher in adenomas than in normal colon tissue. The expression of RGC-32 was higher in advanced stages of colon cancer than in precancerous states or the initial stages of colon cancer. In order to identify the genes that are regulated by RGC-32, we used gene array analysis to investigate the effect of RGC-32 knockdown on gene expression in the SW480 colon cancer cell line. Of the 230 genes that were differentially regulated after RGC-32 knockdown, a group of genes involved in chromatin assembly were the most significantly regulated in these cells: RGC-32 knockdown induced an increase in acetylation of histones H2B lysine 5 (H2BK5), H2BK15, H3K9, H3K18, and H4K8. RGC-32 silencing was also associated with decreased expression of SIRT1 and decreased trimethylation of histone H3K27 (H3K27me3). In addition, RGC-32 knockdown caused a significantly higher percentage of SW480 cells to enter S phase and subsequently G2/M. These data suggest that RGC-32 may contribute to the development of colon cancer by regulating chromatin assembly.
