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

Human rhabdomyosarcomas (RMSs) frequently demonstrate genetic alterations in ras and p53. To investigate their possible involvement in the tumorigenesis, we generated a knock-in mouse line with oncogenic K-ras, conditionally expressed by Cre/LoxP system on a background of p53 alteration. Electroporation of Cre expression vector in skeletal muscle tissues resulted in the generation of tumor in adults with tumor incidences of 100% at 10 weeks and 40% at 15 weeks, in p53(-/-) and p53(-/+) backgrounds, respectively. The tumor histology was pleomorphic RMS with characteristic bizarre giant cells, positive for desmin and alpha-sarcomeric actin and exhibiting remarkable increase in total and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK)1 and ERK2. Loss of the wild-type p53 was detected in K-rasG12V-expressed tumors of p53(-/+) mice. Early lesions 3 weeks after electroporation consisted of proliferating populations of myogenic progenitors, including stem cells positive for ScaI antigen, immature cells positive for desmin and neural cell adhesion molecule-positive myotubes. Thus, cooperation of oncogenic K-ras and p53 deficiency resulted in the development of pleomorphic RMS in adult mice, providing a useful mouse model for further detailed studies.
