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 the mammary gland of virgin mice, xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) enzymic activity is barely measurable. a high increase in the levels of the enzyme is observed during the last days of pregnancy and during lactation, and this is parallelled by an elevation in the amounts of the respective protein and transcript. In situ hybridization experiments demonstrate that the XOR mRNA is specifically expressed in the alveolar epithelial cells of the mammary gland. In HC11 cells, a model culture system for normal breast epithelium, the levels of XOR enzymic activity are dose- and time-dependently induced by dexamethasone, and a further synergistic augmentation is observed in the presence of dexamethasone plus prolactin. Increased XOR gene expression is consequent on glucocorticoid receptor activation, as indicated by sensitivity to the specific receptor antagonist RU486. In addition, the phenomenon is likely to involve protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events, as suggested by modulation of XOR mRNA by tyrosine kinase and phosphatase inhibitors.
