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

The frequency and distribution of aphidicolin (APC)-induced common fragile sites (cfs) were analyzed in human embryonic cells of different origins. Embryonic lung fibroblasts (MRC-5), amniocytes (AMINO) and embryonic retina cells (HERO790) are as sensitive to the APC-induced clastogenic effect as peripheral lymphocytes, whereas embryonic kidney cells (HEK) seem more resistant to the induction of chromosomal gaps and breaks by the drug. Analysis of the distribution of fragile sites confirmed that the expression of specific APC-induced cfs varies in different cells and that the embryonic cell strains show a greater similarity among themselves than to lymphocytes. In addition, HEK, MRC-5, HERO790 and AMINO cells show specific APC induction of the cfs at the 1p31.2 chromosomal band, which seems to be a distinctive feature of the embryonic stage of cells.
