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 proto-oncogene c-myb is overexpressed in human colon cancer cells. c-myb is known to be affected by estrogen in some breast cancers and leukemias. However, the mechanism of c-myb regulation via estrogen in colon cancer requires further investigation. Human COLO-205 colon cancer cells were cultured and treated with beta-estradiol for 24 h. Apoptosis was quantified using acridine orange/propidium iodide labeling and confirmed with DNA fragmentation gel electrophoresis. Expression of c-myb protein was assessed via SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting and RT-PCR was used to quantify bcl-2 RNA. Protein and RNA expression levels were also assayed after c-myb siRNA treatment for 24 h. We demonstrate an increase in apoptosis after 24 h of beta-estradiol treatment of human COLO-205 colon cancer cells. Estrogen treatment also decreases c-myb protein levels as well as expression of its transcriptional target bcl-2. Suppression of c-myb protein also results in increased apoptosis and decreases bcl-2 expression. These results indicate that estrogen has a protective effect from sustained colon cancer cell growth at least partly through suppression of c-myb and bcl-2.
