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 effects of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) on cell proliferation of human hepatoma cell lines, PLC/PRF/5 and Mahlavu, were investigated under serum-free conditions. DNA synthesis was strongly inhibited in the PLC/PRF/5 cells by addition of TGF-beta 1 (0.5 to 4.0 ng/ml), but remained unchanged in the Mahlavu cells. Also the expression of c-myc mRNA was suppressed by the addition of TGF-beta 1 in the PLC/PRF/5 cells but not in the Mahlavu cells. These results indicate that TGF-beta 1 might regulate cell growth, in part, by modulating c-myc expression, although there is no direct proof that c-myc expression is really relevant to DNA synthesis mediated by TGF-beta 1.
