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

The oncogene product from the avian reticuloendotheliosis virus strain T, v-Rel, is a member of the Rel/ NF-kappa B family of transcription factors. The mechanism by which v-Rel induces oncogenic transformation remains unclear. Several attempts to transform mammalian cells with v-Rel have failed, suggesting that v-Rel transformation may be a species-specific event. However, here we demonstrate that v-Rel, but not a truncated c-Rel, expressed under the control of the lck promoter, efficiently induced malignancies in transgenic mice. Most of the animals died before 10 months of age and developed immature, multicentric aggressive T-cell leukemia/lymphomas. Most tumors contain CD4+CD8+ cells or CD4-CD8+ cells, which have an immature rather than a mature peripheral phenotype. No tumor development was observed in control littermates and transgenic mice expressing a truncated form of c-Rel. Tumor formation was correlated with the presence of constitutive p50/v-Rel DNA binding activity and overexpression of several kappa B-regulated genes in v-rel transgenic thymocytes. However, v-Rel is also transforming in transgenic thymocytes lacking p50, indicating that p50/v-Rel heterodimer formation is not essential for the transforming activity of v-Rel. The transforming activity of v-Rel in p50 null mice has been identified as v-Rel/v-Rel homodimers. Since tumors represent immature T-lymphocytes, constitutive v-Rel expression appears to be leukemogenic at earlier stages of T-cell development. These v-Rel mice should aid in the study of lymphoma development, T-cell development and NF-kappa B regulation.
