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

The hedgehog signalling pathway is responsible for the embryonic patterning of a range of tissues, and it is now known that dysregulation of this pathway can result in the formation of several tumour types. This cascade is regulated at the cell surface by the opposing actions of the patched and smoothened molecules which together form a receptor complex for hedgehog. The discovery that inactivation of the human patched gene is responsible for familial and sporadic forms of basal cell carcinoma firmly established a role for dysregulation of hedgehog signalling in tumorigenesis. Other key members of this pathway have also been shown to be involved in tumour formation, as have more distal downstream targets of hedgehog signalling. Since it appears that tumorigenesis results from constitutive activation of hedgehog responsive genes, the identification of novel downstream targets of hedgehog signalling in given cell types is likely to increase our understanding of the molecular processes underlying tumour formation.
