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

Elevated cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression is observed in a variety of premalignant neoplastic tissues, suggesting COX-2 expression might serve as a potential indicator of subsequent tumor development. However, it has not been possible to compare the relationship between Cox-2 gene expression in premalignant lesions and their subsequent fate, because conventional studies require tissue destruction for analysis of gene expression. To monitor COX-2 expression non-invasively during tumor development, we created a Cox-2 luciferase knock-in mouse, Cox-2(luc), in which the firefly luciferase coding region replaces the Cox-2 coding region. Luciferase activity was non-invasively, quantitatively and repeatedly monitored in Cox-2(luc/+) mice subjected to DMBA/TPA multistage skin tumor induction. Luciferase activity is significantly higher in all papillomas than in surrounding skin. However, the magnitude of Cox-2 promoter-driven luciferase activity in small papillomas cannot predict subsequent papilloma regression or growth. Elevated Cox-2 promoter-driven luciferase signal can be detected when papillomas first become visible, but not before this time.
