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

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most commonly fatal malignant tumour worldwide. The role of androgen receptors, which have been found in hepatocellular carcinoma, is controversial. Sequence specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to quantify, for the first time, the expression of androgen receptor in four adult liver biopsy specimens (HL-A to HL-D), fetal liver, and Hep-G2 cells. The measurement of androgen receptor is expressed as a ratio (androgen receptor: beta-actin) of the value of androgen receptor to the value of a control gene, beta-actin. The value of the androgen receptor: beta-actin ratios for HL-A, HL-B, HL-C, HL-D, fetal liver, and Hep-G2 were 0.37, 0.86, 0.37, 0.44, 0.87, and 0.66 respectively. To verify sequence specific amplification of the androgen receptor, the PCR androgen receptor fragment was sequenced. The resultant sequence data for both strands of the double stranded PCR androgen receptor fragment had 100% similarity with the published androgen receptor mRNA sequence (complete codons).
