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 mechanism by which gastroesophageal reflux promotes metaplasia→dysplasia→carcinoma is unknown. The aim of the study is to determine if repeated exposure to acid and bile confers a tumorigenic phenotype in a telomerase (hTERT)-immortalized benign Barrett's cell line (BAR-T). BAR-T cells were exposed to acid (pH 4) (A) and bile salt (200 μM glycochenodeoxycholic acid) (B) daily for 5 min up to 65+ weeks. The control cells were grown in parallel without any A or B treatment. Cell morphology, proliferation, transformation, and molecular changes in the gene expression for COX-2, TC22, p53 and p53 target genes were analyzed at 8-12 weeks intervals. At 46 weeks BAR-T cells exposed to (A+B) showed distinct phenotypic changes: forming clusters and acini, and at 65 weeks displayed foci in monolayer, and formed distinct colonies in soft agar. Untreated cells did not show any such changes. In A+B-treated BAR-T cells, COX-2 mRNA increased 10- to 20-fold, TC22 mRNA increased by 2- to 3-fold at 22-65 weeks, p53, MDM2, PERP, and p21mRNA increased 2.5-, 6.4-, 4-, and 2.6-fold respectively when compared to untreated cells at 34 weeks. However, at 58 weeks onward, there was a sharp decline of p53 and its target genes to the baseline level. At 65 weeks A+B-treated BAR-T cells formed tumor in nude mice whereas untreated cells did not. We demonstrate a novel in vitro model of transformation of a benign Barrett's cell line following repeated exposure to A+B over the course of 65 weeks.
