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

Gliomas remain to be an unresolved medical problem. Better understanding of complex regulation and key molecules involved in glioma pathology are needed for designing new and effective treatment modalities. Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) pathway is known to be having a critical role in cell proliferation and differentiation during the invasion and metastasis of the tumor cells. In the present study, N-ethyl N-nitrosourea induced glioma rat model was used to understand the role of ERK1/2 and Akt pathways in the progression of tumor malignancy. Twenty-four glioma rat brains of early (P90) and progressive (P180) stages were used for histological and immunoblot analysis. Results have shown increased levels of activated ERK1/2, activated Akt or protein kinase B, Bcl-2 and pBad in the glioma rats. This study may indicate increased cell proliferation and angiogenesis, mediated through activation of both ERK and Akt pathways along with increased levels of pBad. Further, pAkt and Bcl-2 levels in the progressive stage glioma rats may indicate existence of sustained tumor cell survival signals. Moreover, enhanced pBad levels in tumor may indicate that there are anti-apoptotic mechanisms, further making the malignant cells resistant to apoptosis.
