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

We have previously shown that expression of active Rac1 and Cdc4Hs inhibits skeletal muscle cell differentiation. We show here, by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and cyclin D1 expression, that the expression of active Rac1 and Cdc42Hs but not RhoA impairs cell cycle exit of L6 myoblasts cultured in differentiation medium. Furthermore, expression of activated forms of Rac1 and Cdc42Hs elicits the loss of cell contact inhibition and anchorage-dependent growth as measured by focus forming activity and growth in soft agar. RhoA was once again not found to have this effect. We found a constitutive Rac1 and Cdc42Hs activation in three human rhabdomyosarcoma-derived cell lines, one of the most common causes of solid tumours arising from muscle precursors during childhood. Finally, dominant negative forms of Rac1 and Cdc42Hs inhibit cell proliferation of the RD rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. These data suggest an important role for the small GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42Hs in the generation of skeletal muscle tumours.
