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

Alterations in the c-myc proto-oncogene in colorectal cancer were studied at the level of RNA expression, gene amplification and rearrangements. One hundred cases of colorectal cancer, stratified by Dukes' stage were examined. The level of messenger RNA expression was measured in tumours and matched normal mucosa from the same patient. Between 5 and 400 fold over-expression was found in 66% of tumours. Neither the presence nor the level of over-expression correlated with tumour staging. A significant correlation (P < 0.01) was found between over-expression of c-myc in tumours and the presence of synchronous adenomas elsewhere in the colon. In contrast to other tumours, no rearrangements of the gene were found on Southern analysis of colorectal cancers. Similarly, amplification of the gene was not found in the cancers examined.
