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

Allelic loss is a common mechanism of inactivation of tumour-suppressor genes in colorectal carcinomas. A number of known or putative tumour-suppressor genes including NF1, BRCA1, NME1, NME2 and prohibitin are present on the long arm of chromosome 17, and this region has not been extensively analysed in colorectal tumours. In this study 72 colorectal carcinomas were examined for allelic loss at eight loci on chromosome 17. Allelic loss was frequent both at the p53 locus, which is known to be important in colorectal carcinoma, and also telomeric to p53 on 17p. Allelic loss continued to be present in more than 50% of cases in the pericentromeric region and on proximal 17q to the marker LEW101 (D17S40) at 17q22-23. The most telomeric markers on 17q showed lower rates of allelic loss. Analysis of cases with partial deletions which did not include the p53 locus showed a common region of overlap of the deletions centred on D17S40. This suggests the target of allelic loss on 17q is a tumour-suppressor gene in this region.
