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

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) was studied in Dunning prostatic cancer models using competitive binding assays and solution hybridization assay. EGF-R-binding capacity and mRNA were demonstrated in a hormone-sensitive R3327 prostatic tumor from both control and castrated animals while no such activity was found in the hormone-independent AT-1 tumors. Castration induced no quantitative changes in the EGF-R. Estrogen treatment induced a significant reduction of the binding capacity of EGF-R and its mRNA. It was concluded that EGF-R is present in the androgen-sensitive Dunning prostatic tumor models (R3327), but that the androgen-insensitive, undifferentiated AT-1 tumor lacks EGF-R expression. Endocrine treatment has no significant effect on the EGF-R in these tumor models.
