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

To determine whether murine mammary growth is modulated by local insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) production, expression of recombinant IGF-1 was directed to the mammary glands of transgenic mice using an ovine prepro IGF-1 cDNA under control of the mouse mammary tumor virus-long terminal repeat (MMTV-LTR) promoter. Bioactivity of recombinant IGF-1 in transgenic mouse milk extracts was demonstrated by a concentration-dependent increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation in clonal bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T) compared with control mouse milk extracts; moreover, addition of excess recombinant human insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (rhlGFBP-3) abolished the increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation attributed to recombinant IGF-1 in transgenic mouse milk. Recombinant IGF-1 was produced in mammary tissue of virgin and pregnant transgenic mice, and secreted into milk of lactating mice. However, recombinant IGF-1 was not detected in serum from transgenic mice; and ligand blot analysis of serum insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) indicated no differences owing to transgene presence. In peripubertal virgin mice at 49 d of age, the frequency of appearance of mammary alveolar buds was significantly higher in MMTV-IGF-1 than in CD-1 mice, and was unaffected by ovariectomy or estradiol treatment. In conclusion, mammary synthesis of recombinant IGF-1 enhances the rate of development of alveolar buds in mammary glands of virgin transgenic mice.
