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

Overexpression of the c-erbB-2 proto-oncogene in mammary carcinoma is frequently associated with amplification of the c-erbB-2 gene, but it also occurs from single-copy gene. Studies in mammary-derived cell lines have shown that, whether or not the gene is amplified, there is a 6- to 8-fold increase in the accumulation of c-erbB-2 mRNA per gene copy in overexpressing cells. We have recently shown that this phenomenon is due to increased activity of the c-erbB-2 promoter mediated by the binding of a novel transcription factor, OB2-1, which is present at higher levels in overexpressing cells than in low expressors. OB2-1 activity therefore represents a novel therapeutic target for the down-regulation of c-erbB-2 levels in human cells. As a prototype for this strategy, we show here that the drug sodium aurothiomalate is able to inhibit the DNA-binding activity of OB2-1 in vitro and also to interfere with c-erbB-2 promoter activity in cell-based transfection assays. In addition, endogenous c-erbB-2 immunoreactivity was reduced in cells treated with aurothiomalate as compared with the levels observed in control cells.
