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

Oncogene research over the last century has been one of the major advances in understanding the molecular biology of malignant disease. Oncogenes are a structurally and functionally heterogeneous group of genes, whose protein products act pleiotropically and affect multiple complex regulatory cascades within the cell. They regulate cell proliferation, growth, and differentiation, as well as control of the cell cycle and apoptosis. The products of oncogenes include growth factors, growth factor receptors, signal transducers, transcription factors, and apoptosis regulators, as well as chromatin remodelers. Several distinct mechanisms have been described for the conversion of proto-oncogenes to active oncogenes. Quantitative forms of oncogene activation include multiplication (gene amplification) or translocation to an active chromatin domain that brings a growth-regulatory gene under the control of a different promoter, causing inappropriate expression of the gene. Qualitative forms include either point mutations or the production of a novel product from a chimeric gene. Further understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which oncogenes regulate normal development and tumorigenesis may lead to novel concepts in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in humans. In this review, we focus on the role of selected oncogenes in gastrointestinal cancer.
