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

Chondrosarcomas represent the second most frequent class of primary skeletal malignancies. This tumor type is highly resistant to radiation therapy and currently available chemotherapies, thereby limiting treatment choice to surgical resection. Identifying the mechanisms responsible for chondrosarcoma cell proliferation is therefore crucial for the development of new treatment strategies. Here, we demonstrate a significant reduction in rat chondrosarcoma cell proliferation following treatment with pharmacological inhibitors (SB202190 and PD169316) of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. In an attempt to dissect possible mechanisms, we investigated the effect of p38 inhibition on promoter activity of cell-cycle genes. Surprisingly, p38 inhibition resulted in upregulation of the activities of all three D-type cyclin promoters. In addition, p38 inhibitors induced increased transcription of the cell-cycle inhibitor p21(waf1/cip1). As expected, promoter activity of the cyclin A gene, which lies downstream of D-type cyclins and p21 in cell-cycle progression, was strongly reduced by p38 inhibitors. These effects were independent of a cyclic AMP response element and conferred by the proximal 150 nucleotides of the cyclin A promoter. Decreased transcription was accompanied by greatly reduced cyclin A protein levels upon p38 inhibition. These observations indicate complex regulation of chondrosarcoma cell-cycle progression by p38 signaling, and suggest that components of p38 MAP kinase pathways may be effective targets in the treatment of these tumors.
