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

We have developed a model system for studying differentiation in the mammary gland, by using two clonal cultures deriving from a rat breast adenocarcinoma. They differ in the ability to form domes, structures the significance of which is unknown. By using the subtractive cDNA library approach, we isolated a cDNA that is highly expressed in the dome-forming cells, and identical to the rat8 gene and highly homologous to the human 9-27 gene. Antisense treatment of the dome-forming cells specifically and reproducibly abolishes dome formation, while forced expression of the gene in non-dome-forming cells causes morphological changes suggestive of "flat" domes. In situ hybridization on rat tissues shows that the gene is expressed in epithelia, especially in those forming tubular structures, suggesting a relatedness between these structures and domes. Cytokeratin 8 and E cadherin are strongly expressed in the domes but not outside them, suggesting that the rat8 gene triggers the cells to express molecules that tighten the lateral connections between the cells; the process is likely to parallel that occurring during the differentiation of the mammary gland.
