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

In this study we established the simultaneous status of TP53, p16, p14ARF and PTEN tumor suppressor genes in 34 randomly chosen human glioma cell lines. Nine cell lines (26.4%) harbored mutations or deletions in all four tumor suppressor genes and 22 cell lines (64%) had alterations in at least three. Mutations/deletions were found at the following frequencies: TP53 (76.5%), p14ARF (64.7%), p16 (64.7%), PTEN (73.5%). Thus, there was a high incidence of alterations in the cellular pathways involving the p53 transcription factor (94.1%), the retinoblastoma protein (64.7%) and the PTEN phosphatase (73.5%) and 91% of cell lines carried mutations in two or more pathways. This provides the first clear genetic evidence that these tumor suppressors participate in biological pathways which are functioning separately/independently in glioma cells. The status of the gene alterations did not correlate with tumorigenicity in immunocompromized mice or any clinical parameters. Although the mutation rate was higher in glioma cell lines than that reported for glioma tissues, the alterations were molecularly representative of those found in adult de novo glioblastoma. This study highlights the importance of developing therapeutic approaches applicable to tumors with a broad range of genetic alterations and also provides an invaluable panel of glioma cell lines to make this possible.
