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

Human cytoskeletal alpha-actinin cDNA was transfected into highly malignant simian virus 40-transformed BALB/c 3T3 (SVT2) cells that express 6-fold lower levels of alpha-actinin than nontransformed BALB/c 3T3 cells. SVT2 clones expressing various levels of alpha-actinin were isolated and their structure and tumorigenic properties were determined. Transfected SVT2 clones expressing alpha-actinin at levels found in nontumorigenic 3T3 cells displayed a flatter phenotype, a decreased ability to grow in suspension culture in soft agar, and a marked reduction in their ability to form tumors in syngeneic BALB/c mice and in athymic nude mice. Clones overexpressing alpha-actinin at the highest level (about 2-fold higher than 3T3 cells) were completely suppressed in their ability to form tumors in syngeneic BALB/c mice. The results suggest that alpha-actinin, an actin-crosslinking protein that is also localized in cell junctions, may have an effective suppressive ability on the transformed phenotype.
