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 transcription factor c-MYC functions as the master transcription factor for establishing highly active metabolic states in proliferating cells. c-Myc is essential for rapid proliferation of normal cells and has causal relationship with many cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma. While the expression of c-MYC can be aberrantly driven by genetic abnormalities, such as chromosomal translocations directly involving the MYC locus or mutations of its upstream regulators, how c-MYC expression is induced and amplified in normal lymphocytes in response to antigen stimulation remains elusive. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Preston et al (2015) report how c-MYC is selectively induced and amplified in the antigen‐specific T cells that undergo massive clonal expansion for host protection against pathogen infection.
