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

Cadmium is a toxic metal able to enter the cells through channels and transport pathways dedicated to essential ions, leading, among others, to the dysregulation of divalent ions homeostasis. Despite its recognized human carcinogenicity, the mechanisms are still under investigation. A powerful tool for mechanistic studies of carcinogenesis is the Cell Transformation Assay (CTA). We have isolated and characterized by whole genome microarray and bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) cadmium-transformed cells from different foci (F1, F2, and F3) at the end of CTA (6 weeks). The systematic analysis of up- and down-regulated transcripts and the comparison of DEGs in transformed cells evidence different functional targets and the complex picture of cadmium-induced transformation. Only 34 in common DEGs are found in cells from all foci, and among these, only 4 genes are jointly up-regulated (Ccl2, Ccl5, IL6 and Spp1), all responsible for cytokines/chemokines coding. Most in common DEGs are down-regulated, suggesting that the switching-off of specific functions plays a major role in this process. In addition, the comparison of dysregulated pathways immediately after cadmium treatment with those in transformed cells provides a valuable means to the comprehension of the overall process.
