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 recombinant growth factors (GFs) erythropoietin (Epo) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) have important roles in the management of cancer patients. However, the effects of these GFs at a cellular level are not well understood. We examined the effect of GFs alone, and in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy, in a panel of seven cell lines. Flow cytometric analysis showed varying levels of receptor expression, which correlated with phosphorylated MAPK expression. Additionally, there were also concomitant increases in BCL-2 protein levels in those cells with high levels of MAPK activation. Although culturing cells with Epo or GM-CSF did not alter cell viability by themselves, GF pretreatment in cell lines expressing higher receptor levels resulted in a reduced magnitude of cell kill following exposure to cytotoxic IC50 concentrations of cisplatin. Subsequent co-culture with either the MEK inhibitor U0126 or the GM-CSF antagonist E21R negated this induced resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy, confirming the importance of the GF receptor as well as MAPK in mediating these effects. These results suggest that the use of GFs during chemotherapy may be detrimental in those cancers expressing higher levels of the specific receptor. Conversely, our results also suggest that GFs are safe to use in chemotherapeutic regimens if the cancer cells do not overexpress the particular receptor.
