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

In Burkitt's lymphoma cells the proto-oncogene c-myc is constantly juxtaposed through chromosomal translocation to one of the immunoglobulin loci on chromosomes 14, 2 or 22. In the majority of cases the chromosomal breakpoint is localized 3' or 5' of the gene leaving the physiological c-myc transcription unit intact. As a consequence of the translocation the c-myc gene on the translocation chromosome becomes transcriptionally activated in such a manner that the c-myc promoter P1 is more active than promoter P2. In order to define elements involved in c-myc activation through t(2;8) translocation we have studied the expression of constructs consisting of c-myc and different parts of the immunoglobulin kappa locus after stable transfection into Burkitt's lymphoma cells. The c-myc gene under the control of the complete Ig kappa locus containing matrix attachment region, intron enhancer, constant kappa gene and 3' enhancer was strongly activated with predominant usage of promoter P1. Deletion analysis revealed that the intron or 3' enhancers alone activated c-myc to a much lesser extent and with normal promoter usage (P1 < P2). The cooperation of the same regulatory elements is required not only for transcriptional activation and induction of the promoter shift but also for down-regulation of promoter P1 of the translocated c-myc allele by sodium butyrate, another characteristic feature of Burkitt's lymphoma cells. This supports the notion that all elements involved in transcriptional activation and dysregulation of c-myc are contained within the myc-Ig specific minichromosome.
