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 investigate the function of the Rb-related p107 gene, a null mutation in p107 was introduced into the germ line of mice and bred into a BALB/cJ genetic background. Mice lacking p107 were viable and fertile but displayed impaired growth, reaching about 50% of normal weight by 21 days of age. Mutant mice exhibited a diathetic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by ectopic myeloid hyperplasia in the spleen and liver. Embryonic p107(-/-) fibroblasts and primary myoblasts isolated from adult p107(-/-) mice displayed a striking twofold acceleration in doubling time. However, cell sort analysis indicated that the fraction of cells in G1, S, and G2 was unaltered, suggesting that the different phases of the cell cycle in p107(-/-) cells was uniformly reduced by a factor of 2. Western analysis of cyclin expression in synchronized p107(-/-) fibroblasts revealed that expression of cyclins E and A preceded that of D1. Mutant embryos expressed approximately twice the normal level of Rb, whereas p130 levels were unaltered. Lastly, mutant mice reverted to a wild-type phenotype following a single backcross with C57BL/6J mice, suggesting the existence of modifier genes that have potentially epistatic relationships with p107. Therefore, we conclude that p107 is an important player in negatively regulating the rate of progression of the cell cycle, but in a strain-dependent manner.
