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

Metabolism plays a key role in chemical genotoxicity; however, most mammalian cells used for in vitro genotoxicity testing lack effective metabolizing enzymes. We recently developed a battery of TK6-derived cell lines that individually overexpress 1 of 8 cytochrome P450s (CYP1A1, 1A2, 1B1, 2A6, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, and 3A4) using a lentiviral expression system. The increased expression and metabolic function of each individual CYP in each established cell line were confirmed using real-time PCR, Western blotting, and mass spectrometry analysis; the parental TK6 cells and empty vector (EV) transduced cells had negligible CYP levels. Subsequently, we evaluated these cell lines using 2 prototypical polyaromatic hydrocarbon mutagens, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), that require metabolic activation to exert their genotoxicity. DMBA-induced cytotoxicity, phosphorylation of histone H2A.X, and micronucleus formation were significantly increased in TK6 cells with CYP1A1, 1B1, 2B6, and 2C19 expression as compared with EV controls. B[a]P significantly increased cytotoxicity, DNA damage, and chromosomal damage in TK6 cells overexpressing CYP1A1 and 1B1 when compared with EV controls. B[a]P also induced micronucleus formation in TK6 cells expressing CYP1A2. These results suggest that our CYP-expressing TK6 cell system can be used to detect the genotoxicity of compounds requiring metabolic transformation.
