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

In human neuroblastoma tumors, amplification of the N-myc proto-oncogene and loss of all or part of the short arm of chromosome #1 are both associated with a poor prognosis. Accruing evidence indicates that it is the absence of one allele of the HuD (ELAVL4) gene, encoding the neuronal-specific RNA-binding protein HuD and localized to 1p34, that is linked to amplification. In 12 human neuroblastoma cell lines, N-myc amplification correlates with loss of one HuD allele and decreased HuD expression. Transfection experiments demonstrate that modulating HuD expression affects N-myc gene copy number as well as expression. Introduction of a sense HuD construct into two N-myc amplified cell lines considerably increases N-myc expression whereas gene copy number decreases. Conversely, expression of antisense HuD in N-myc nonamplified SH-SY5Y cells reduces HuD and N-myc mRNA levels even as cells show amplification of the N-myc gene. Thus, N-myc gene copy number is modulated by alteration of HuD expression. We propose that haploinsufficiency of HuD due to chromosome #1p deletion in neuroblastoma selects for cells that amplify N-myc genes. Application of these findings could lead to more effective therapies in the treatment of those patients with the worst prognosis.
