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

Allelotypic detection of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) has been used to identify putative tumour-suppressor genes. Loci on human chromosome 11q23 are frequently altered in malignant disease, and LOH has been reported at an anonymous D11S29 locus at 11q23 in a proportion of breast and ovarian cancers and malignant melanomas. Previous studies have reported a high frequency of LOH in cervical carcinoma mapping to 11q23. Using polymerase chain reaction techniques employing probes for a recently described polymorphic dinucleotide microsatellite within this locus, we have searched for LOH in 69 cases of invasive cervical carcinoma. Genomic material was microdissected from sections cut from archival paraffin-embedded material, using the patients' constitutional genotype as a control Sixty-two (90%) of the cases were informative, and LOH occurred in 25/62 (40%) of tumours. Loss of an arm or single chromosome 11 is a well-recognised event in cervical carcinoma, and by employing other microsatellite polymorphisms mapping to 11q13 and 11p11-p12 we excluded those cases with widespread allelic loss. By doing so, LOH at D11S29 was found in 16/53 (30%) of tumours. The findings suggest a putative tumour-suppressor gene on 11q involved in cervical carcinogenesis.
