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

A gene of unknown biological function, nbl, was originally isolated by virtue of its abundance in a Namalwa Burkitt Lymphoma cDNA library. nbl expression was initially found to be higher in tissues which exhibited internucleosomal DNA cleavage characteristic of apoptosis, than in tissues which did not exhibit a 'DNA ladder'. nbl expression was therefore examined in mouse thymus in vivo, in which apoptosis is induced by the glucocorticoid, dexamethasone. nbl expression was markedly enhanced by dexamethasone treatment and then sharply decreased prior to the occurrence of maximal 'DNA ladder' formation. In contrast, expression of myc, which is believed to be involved in apoptosis in other cell systems, declined as thymic apoptosis increased. Thymic apoptosis was blocked by the transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D, if administered when nbl expression was enhanced, but not before or after the peak of nbl expression. These results suggest that nbl expression is associated with thymic apoptosis.
