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

Cell-cell communication through gap junctions is aberrant or absent in a majority of human cancer cells, compared to cells in corresponding normal tissues. This and other evidence has led to the hypothesis that gap junction channels, comprised of connexin proteins, are important in growth control and cancer progression. The major goal of this ongoing study was to identify bioactive compounds that specifically upregulate gap junction channel-mediated cell-cell communication as potential anti-tumor therapies. Control of cell-cell communication is linked to growth regulatory intracellular signaling pathways; we therefore further aimed to identify signaling pathways modulated by these compounds in order to assess their potential as targeted anti-tumor therapies. Compounds were screened for their ability to upregulate gap junction-mediated cell-cell communication by using a fluorescent dye transfer assay to measure cell-cell communication between tumor promoter-treated astroglial cells or
