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

BACKGROUND/

aimThe promoter region of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene is a regulatory element capable of affecting TERT expression, telomerase activity, and telomerase length. Mutations within the TERT promoter region are the most common mutations in many cancers. In this study, we characterized the TERT promoter mutation status in hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and gastrointestinal cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND

methodsTERT promoter mutation status was assessed by digital PCR in 12 liver cancer, 5 cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), 12 pancreatic cancer, 17 gastrointestinal cancer, and 3 healthy control cell lines.

resultsThe C228T promoter mutation was detected in 9 liver cancer lines, and the C250T TERT mutation was detected in 1 oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma line.

conclusionThe C228T promoter mutation is specific to liver cancer cell lines among various gastrointestinal cancer cell lines. These data will contribute to future research on the tumorigenic mechanisms and clinical use of digital PCR to detect mutations.
