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

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases affecting women worldwide. Studies on loss of heterozygosity have been made for PTEN gene specific microsatellite markers in malignancies like breast, ovary and lungs and the results have shown a significant association. However the role of this gene is not clearly understood in cervical cancer from Indian population. A total of 135 cervical carcinoma tissues samples were analyzed for loss of heterozygosity. DNA was isolated from the samples and their matched control specimens. Polymerase chain reaction was performed using primer specific for two intragenic markers (D10S198 & D10S192) and one marker (D10S541) in flanking region and further electrophoresed on 8% denaturing polyacrylamide gel. Overall, 31 out of 133(23%) informative cases showed loss of heterozygosity in at least one locus in the region examined. The percentage of loss of heterozygosity for these markers ranged from 8% (D10S192) to 13% (D10S198). Loss of heterozygosity was more frequently detected in intragenic region (D10S198 & D10S192) than in flanking region, D10S541 (21% versus 9%). These data argue that PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene whose inactivation may play an important role in the carcinoma of uterine cervix.
