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

Activated Ras, but not Raf, causes transformation of RIE-1 rat intestinal epithelial cells, demonstrating the importance of Raf-independent effector signaling in mediating Ras transformation. To further assess the contribution of Raf-dependent and Raf-independent function in oncogenic Ras transformation, we evaluated the mechanism by which oncogenic Ras blocks suspension-induced apoptosis, or anoikis, of RIE-1 cells. We determined that oncogenic versions of H-, K-, and N-Ras, as well as the Ras-related proteins TC21 and R-Ras, protected RIE-1 cells from anoikis. Surprisingly, our analyses of Ras effector domain mutants or constitutively activated effectors indicated that activation of Raf-1, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), or RalGDS alone is not sufficient to promote Ras inhibition of anoikis. Treatment of Ras-transformed cells with the U0126 MEK inhibitor caused partial reversion to an anoikis-sensitive state, indicating that extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation contributes to inhibition of anoikis. Unexpectedly, oncogenic Ras failed to activate Akt, and treatment of Ras-transformed RIE-1 cells with the LY294002 PI3K inhibitor did not affect anoikis resistance or growth in soft agar. Thus, while important for Ras transformation of fibroblasts, PI3K may not be involved in Ras transformation of RIE-1 cells. Finally, inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor kinase activity did not overcome Ras inhibition of anoikis, indicating that this autocrine loop essential for transformation is not involved in anoikis protection. We conclude that a PI3K- and RalGEF-independent Ras effector(s) likely cooperates with Raf to confer anoikis resistance upon RIE-1 cells, thus underscoring the complex nature by which Ras transforms cells.
