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

Understanding apoptosis is often considered a key to understand the genesis of tumors and to devise innovative strategies for their treatment. Similar to other types of cancer, essential pathways regulating apoptosis are also disrupted in malignant gliomas, notably the cell cycle control mechanisms regulated by the p53 and retinoblastoma (RB) proteins and their homologs. Moreover, cultured glioma cells appear not to activate the extrinsic death receptor-dependent apoptotic pathway in response to irradiation or cytotoxic drugs. A preferential expression of antiapoptotic rather than proapoptotic BCL-2 family proteins and high level expression of inhibitor-of-apoptosis proteins (IAP) may be responsible for the failure of glioma cells to activate caspases in response to apoptotic stimuli. Although apoptosis does occur spontaneously in malignant gliomas in vivo, there is little evidence that the current modes of non-surgical treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, mediate their effects via induction of apoptosis, with the possible exception of anaplastic oligodendrogliomas which often show striking tumor regression on neuroimaging. Yet, the induction of apoptosis plays a conceptual role in the majority of novel experimental approaches to malignant glioma which are currently evaluated in cell culture and preclinical rodent models.
