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

A cell line was established from a mixed mullerian tumor of the ovary and designated LN1. Histopathologic analysis of the fresh tumor specimen demonstrated a highly aneuploid heterologous tumor comprised of undifferentiated mesodermal components with carcinomatous cells present as a smaller population. Long-term in vitro culture resulted in the establishment of a cell line that exhibits an epithelial-like morphology and expresses epithelial antigens cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, and carcinoma antigen TAG-72. These cells also express mesenchymal intermediate filaments, vimentin, and desmin. Karyotypic analysis revealed a basic triploid pattern with multiple chromosomal abnormalities, most notably an isochromosome of the short arm of five present in three copies. Analysis of oncogene expression revealed that LN1 cells constitutively express mRNA for c-ras, c-erbB2, and p53. The expression of mRNA for cellular oncogenes correlated with the presence of corresponding oncoproteins, p21H-ras, p21K-ras, and p185erB2 and mutant p53 protein. In summary, coexpression of epithelial and mesenchymal antigens by LN1 cells lends support to the hypothesis that epithelial and mesenchymal elements comprising mixed mullerian tumors of the ovary are derived from a common stem cell precursor. Furthermore, this cell line represents a functional in vitro model to evaluate the biologic activities of these unusual and highly aggressive ovarian malignancies.
