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

An in vivo glioma model was developed in syngeneic BD IX rats. The BT4An tumor was derived from serial in vivo passages of the BT4A tumor, originally induced from transformed fetal rat brain cells after transplacental exposure to ethylnitrosourea. The cell line was characterized for the presence of neuroglial differentiation markers, chromosome content and cell cycle distribution as determined by flowcytometry. A standardized method for i.c. tumor induction was developed, and the tumors were investigated by light and electron microscopy and for evidence of blood-brain barrier disruption. Tumor cell ability for phagocytosis was studied, as this property may be important for the invasion pattern of the tumors. We conclude that the model seems suitable for both in vivo therapy and invasion studies. The tumor had 100% tumor take, yielded a predictable symptom-free life span after inoculation, had a characteristic histological picture of an aggressive glioma, and the blood-brain barrier within the tumor was in part disrupted. Compared to the parent cell line, there was loss of neuroglial differentiation markers, the chromosomal distribution was changed, and the ability for phagocytosis was practically lost.
