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

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an important angiogenic factor, regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis through activation of its tyrosine-kinase receptors, such as Flt-1 and Flk-1/Kdr. Human malignant mesothelioma cells (HMC), which have wild-type p53, express VEGF and exhibit cell growth increased by VEGF. Here, we demonstrate that early transforming proteins of simian virus (SV) 40, large tumor antigen (Tag) and small tumor antigen (tag), which have been associated with mesotheliomas, enhanced HMC proliferation by inducing VEGF expression. SV40-Tag expression potently increased VEGF protein and mRNA levels in several HMC lines. This effect was suppressed by the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide. Inactivation of the VEGF signal transduction pathway by expression of soluble form of Flt-1 inhibited Flk-1/Kdr activation and HMC proliferation induced by SV40 early genes. Experiments with SV40 mutants revealed that SV40-Tag, but not -tag, is involved in the VEGF promoter activation. However, concomitant expression of SV40-tag enhanced Tag function. In addition, SV40-Tag expression sustained VEGF induction in colon carcinoma cell line (CCL)-233, which have wild-type p53, but not in CCL-238, which lack functional p53. These data indicate that VEGF regulation by SV40 transforming proteins can represent a key event in SV40 signaling relevant for tumor progression.
