Four functional genotoxic marker genes (Bax, Btg2, Ccng1, and Cdkn1a) discriminate genotoxic hepatocarcinogens from non-genotoxic hepatocarcinogens and non-genotoxic non-hepatocarcinogens in rat public toxicogenomics data, Open TG-GATEs.

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.
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
backgroundPreviously, Japanese Environmental Mutagen and Genome Society/Mammalian Mutagenicity Study Group/Toxicogenomics Study Group (JEMS/MMS toxicogenomic study group) proposed 12 genotoxic marker genes (Aen, Bax, Btg2, Ccnf, Ccng1, Cdkn1a, Gdf15, Lrp1, Mbd1, Phlda3, Plk2, and Tubb4b) to discriminate genotoxic hepatocarcinogens (GTHCs) from non-genotoxic hepatocarcinogens (NGTHCs) and non-genotoxic non-hepatocarcinogens (NGTNHCs) in mouse and rat liver using qPCR and RNA-Seq and confirmed in public rat toxicogenomics data, Open TG-GATEs, by principal component analysis (PCA). On the other hand, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) suggested seven genotoxic marker genes (Bax, Btg2, Ccng1, Cgrrf1, Cdkn1a, Mgmt, and Tmem47) with Open TG-GATEs data. Four genes (Bax, Btg2, Ccng1, and Cdkn1a) were common in these two studies. In the present study, we examined the performance of these four genes in Open TG-GATEs data using PCA.
resultsThe study's findings are of paramount significance, as these four genes proved to be highly effective in distinguishing five typical GTHCs (2-acetylaminofluorene, aflatoxin B1, 2-nitrofluorene, N-nitrosodiethylamine and N-nitrosomorpholine) from seven typical NGTHCs (clofibrate, ethanol, fenofibrate, gemfibrozil, hexachlorobenzene, phenobarbital, and WY-14643) and 11 NGTNHCs (allyl alcohol, aspirin, caffeine, chlorpheniramine, chlorpropamide, dexamethasone, diazepam, indomethacin, phenylbutazone, theophylline, and tolbutamide) by PCA at 24 h after a single administration with 100% accuracy. These four genes also effectively distinguished two typical GTHCs (2-acetylaminofluorene and N-nitrosodiethylamine) from seven NGTHCs and ten NGTNHCs by PCA on 29 days after 28 days-repeated administrations, with a similar or even better performance compared to the previous 12 genes. Furthermore, the study's analysis revealed that the three intermediate GTHC/NGTHCs (methapyrilene, monocrotaline, and thioacetamide, which were negative in the Salmonella test but positive in the in vivo rat liver test) were located in the intermediate region between typical GTHCs and typical NGTHCs by PCA.
conclusionsThe present results unequivocally demonstrate the availability of four genotoxic marker genes ((Bax, Btg2, Ccng1, and Cdkn1a) and PCA in discriminating GTHCs from NGTHCs and NGTNHCs in Open TG-GATEs. These findings strongly support our recommendation that future rat liver in vivo toxicogenomics tests prioritize these four genotoxic marker genes, as they have proven to be highly effective in discriminating between different types of hepatocarcinogens.
