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

Steel factor (SLF) and c-Kit are a ligand-receptor pair that regulates growth and activation of a variety of hemopoietic and non-hemopoietic cells. This review describes our work investigating downstream signaling pathways activated by SLF, with particular emphasis on signaling differences associated with soluble vs membrane- bound ligand, and our identification of an important role for PLC activation and Ca2+ influx in supporting c-Kit positive cells in vitro and in vivo. This work led to the identification of a unique form of cell death termed activation enhanced cell death (AECD) that involves stimulating a cell with a growth or activation signal while concurrently blocking Ca2+ influx. Approaches that we have taken toward identifying cellular factors associated with sensitivity and resistance to AECD are summarized, as is our experience with a variety of experimental models. The use of econazole as a calcium channel blocker and its mechanism of action are described, as is its potential for development as an anticancer therapeutic.
