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

Glutathione transferase P (GST-P; glutathione transferase, EC 2.5.1.18) is known to be specifically expressed at high levels in precancerous lesions and in hepatocellular carcinomas from a very early phase of chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis in the rat. The almost invariable occurrence of this phenotype in these lesions strongly suggests a mechanism by which GST-P gene is activated together with a crucial transforming gene of liver cells. To distinguish the two alternative possibilities--either the GST-P gene is coactivated with a closely located transforming gene by a cis mechanism or it is activated in trans by a common trans-acting factor--we carried out carcinogenesis experiments using transgenic rats harboring the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene ligated to the upstream regulatory sequence of the GST-P gene. In each of three independent lines tested, liver foci and nodules produced by chemical carcinogens (Solt-Farber procedure) were found to express high levels of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity, indicating clearly that the GST-P gene is activated by a trans mechanism during hepatocarcinogenesis.
