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

Melanocytes are a unique cell lineage and have possible functions in skin tissue. Gangliosides GD3 and/or GD2 have been rigorously studied in malignant melanomas that derive from melanocytes. Recently, ganglioside expression on normal melanocytes have been paid attention with a focus on their functions and responses to various stimulations. These results suggest potential meaning of gangliosides in the activation status of cells or "omen" for malignant transformation of normal melanocytes. Here, ways for melanocyte culture, treatment by ultraviolet exposure and by various cytokines such as TNFα and IL-6 to analyze responses of melanocytes are explained. The ways for measurement of changes in glycosyltransferase genes and caused signaling responses as well as ganglioside expression are also explained.
