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

Astrocytomas are the most common primary tumor of the adult human central nervous system. Despite efforts to develop more effective clinical treatment strategies, median survival time for patients with the most severe form of astrocytoma, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), remains about one year. Astrocytomas are resistant to cytotoxic therapy in general and radiation therapy in particular, greatly limiting treatment options. One reason for this seems to be defects in the pathways controlling apoptosis. We have characterized the role of the tyrosine phosphatase FAP-1 (FAS-associated phosphatase 1) in astrocytomas. Our studies demonstrate that FAP-1 is overexpressed in astrocytomas and this contributes to the resistance of the tumor cells to FAS-mediated apoptosis. We demonstrate that knockdown of FAP-1 by RNA interference leads to increased apoptosis and increased sensitivity of astrocytoma cells to FAS-induced cell death. FAP-1 binds to FAS in a ligand-dependent manner and forms a signaling complex that modulates the ability of astrocytoma cells to undergo FAS ligand (FASL)-mediated cell death. In astrocytoma cells, FASL treatment induces tyrosine phosphorylation of FAS. FAP-1 dephosphorylates phospho-tyrosine 275 in the carboxyl terminus of FAS. This is the first direct evidence that FAS activity can be regulated by reversible phosphorylation and suggests a mechanism for astrocytoma resistance to apoptosis.
