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

We have previously reported that insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) supports growth and survival of mouse and human medulloblastoma cell lines, and that IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) is constitutively phosphorylated in human medulloblastoma clinical samples. Here, we demonstrate that a specific inhibitor of insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR), NVP-AEW541, attenuated growth and survival of mouse (BsB8) and human (D384, Daoy) medulloblastoma cell lines. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated that G1 arrest and apoptosis contributed to the action of NVP-AEW54. Interestingly, very aggressive BsB8 cells, which derive from cerebellar tumors of transgenic mice expressing viral oncoprotein (large T-antigen from human polyomavirus JC) became much more sensitive to NVP-AEW541 when exposed to anchorage-independent culture conditions. This high sensitivity to NVP-AEW54 in suspension was accompanied by the loss of GSK-3beta constitutive phosphorylation and was independent from T-antigen-mediated cellular events (Supplementary Materials). BsB8 cells were partially rescued from NVP-AEW541 by GSK3beta inhibitor, lithium chloride and were sensitized by GSK3beta activator, sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Importantly, human medulloblastoma cells, D384, which demonstrated partial resistance to NVP-AEW541 in suspension cultures, become much more sensitive following SNP-mediated GSK3beta dephosphorylation (activation). Our results indicate that hypersensitivity of medulloblastoma cells in anchorage-independence is linked to GSK-3beta activity and suggest that pharmacological intervention against IGF-IR with simultaneous activation of GSK3beta could be highly effective against medulloblastomas, which have intrinsic ability of disseminating the CNS via cerebrospinal fluid.
