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

D341 Med is a new continuous cell line and transplantable xenograft derived from a cerebellar medulloblastoma. This line grew in vitro in suspension culture with spontaneous macroscopic spheroid formation and demonstrated 20-fold amplification of c-myc. Cultured D341 Med cells injected subcutaneously into athymic mice grew as markedly cellular, highly invasive undifferentiated neoplasms. Intracranial tumors grew as markedly cellular mitotically active neoplasms largely located within the subarachnoid space or lining the ventricular system. Immunocytochemical analysis of the cell line and SQ tumors revealed the high (NFP-H) and middle (NFP-M) molecular weight (Mr) neurofilament proteins (NFPs). Immunoblots demonstrated the presence of molecular species that co-migrated with authentic human NFP-H and NFP-M. This cell line and transplantable xenograft may allow, in conjunction with the authors' other models of human medulloblastoma, analysis of the heterogeneous biologic properties and therapeutic sensitivity of this tumor.
