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

We have used mouse hepatoma cells in culture to study acute, short-term high-dose effects of hexavalent chromium on gene regulation directed by the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). We find that the mixture engages three major signaling pathways: (i) activation of detoxification genes; (ii) induction of signal transduction effectors; and (iii) epigenetic modification of chromatin marks. Preliminary results in mice exposed to mixtures of low doses of Cr(VI) plus BaP indicate that all three pathways are likely to be engaged also in long-term effects resulting from exposure to environmentally relevant doses of the mixture that inhibit the expression of tumor suppressor genes. Given the toxicity and carcinogenicity of these mixtures, we expect that a two-way analytical approach, from cells in culture to biological effects in vivo and vice versa, will provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the biological effects of mixtures. By focusing both the in vivo and the in vitro work into long-term, low-dose, environmentally relevant exposures, we expect to develop much needed information pertinent to the type of diseases found in human populations exposed to mixtures of environmental toxicants.
