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

Unlike normal cells, transformed cells are unable to grow when methionine in the growth media is restricted. Reversion to methionine independence is a rare event in transformed and malignant cells. Methionine-independent revertants provide an excellent system to identify metabolic signatures and molecular characteristics associated with methionine dependency of transformed cells. Revertants maintain the genetic background and general growth behavior of the parental cell line, except that they proliferate under methionine restriction such as in methionine-free media supplemented with homocysteine. Here we describe a general approach to generate methionine-independent revertants using the example of the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468. To validate and characterize reversion we describe assays to evaluate cell proliferation and anchorage-independent growth in soft agar.
