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

Genetic mutations in exons of oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes causing qualitative abnormalities result in activation of the oncogenes and inactivation of the tumor-suppressor genes, thereby causing cancer. In contrast, we have previously demonstrated that decreases in the RB promoter activity by genetic or epigenetic abnormalities can also cause carcinogenesis. In addition, activation and inactivation of a variety of oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes finally cause quantitative abnormalities in gene expression. Interestingly, we discovered effective molecular-targeting agents, such as a novel MEK inhibitor, trametinib, by screening for agents upregulating the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. In the present review, we focused on the quantitative abnormalities in gene expression with carcinogenesis, and discuss the importance of normalizing the quantitative abnormalities in gene expression with several molecular-targeting agents.
