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

Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), as a widely used preclinical cancer model, has still not been genetically and genomically characterized. Here, we performed a whole-exome sequencing analysis on the LLC cell line to elucidate its molecular characteristics and etiologies. Our data showed that LLC originated from a male mouse belonging to C57BL/6L (a transitional strain between C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N) and contains substantial somatic SNV and InDel mutations (> 20,000). Extensive regional mutation clusters are present in its genome, which were caused mainly by the mutational processes underlying the SBS1, SBS5, SBS15, SBS17a, and SBS21 signatures during frequent structural rearrangements. Thirty three deleterious mutations are present in 30 cancer genes including Kras, Nras, Trp53, Dcc, and Cacna1d. Cdkn2a and Cdkn2b are biallelically deleted from the genome. Five pathways (RTK/RAS, p53, cell cycle, TGFB, and Hippo) are oncogenically deregulated or affected. The major mutational processes in LLC include chromosomal instability, exposure to metabolic mutagens, spontaneous 5-methylcytosine deamination, defective DNA mismatch repair, and reactive oxygen species. Our data also suggest that LLC is a lung cancer similar to human lung adenocarcinoma. This study lays a molecular basis for the more targeted application of LLC in preclinical research.
