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

aimIdentification of mutations and polymorphisms in the cytochrome b gene (Cyb) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in canine mast cell tumours and determinatiion of their association with the process of neoplastic transformation. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe samples comprised tumour tissues and blood obtained from 34 dogs of various breeds. Mutations and polymorphisms in the Cyb gene were detected using amplification and sequencing methods.

resultsHeteroplasmic mutations were detected at seven positions of mtDNA in 86% of the individuals. Blood and tumour heteroplasmy were recorded at five nucleotide positions of the Cyb gene, whereas tumour heteroplasmy was detected at two positions. Polymorphisms were detected at 14 Cyb gene positions in in the blood of 91% of dogs with mast cell tumours.

conclusionThe presence of numerous mutations and polymorphisms of Cyb in the blood and tumour tissues and the high frequency of heteroplasmy indicate their involvement in the process of neoplastic transformation in dogs.
