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

Drug resistance to chemotherapy is often associated with increased malignancy in neuroblastoma (NB). In pursuit of alternative treatments for chemoresistant tumour cells, we tested the response of multidrug-resistant SKNSH and of vincristine (VCR)-, doxorubicin (DOX)-, or cisplatin (CDDP)-resistant UKF-NB-2, UKF-NB-3 or UKF-NB-6 NB tumour cell lines to valproic acid (VPA), a differentiation inducer currently in clinical trials. Drug resistance caused elevated NB adhesion (UKF-NB-2(VCR), UKF-NB-2(DOX), UKF-NB-2(CDDP), UKF-NB-3(VCR), UKF-NB-3(CDDP), UKF-NB-6(VCR), UKF-NB-6(CDDP)) to an endothelial cell monolayer, accompanied by downregulation of the adhesion receptor neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). Based on the UKF-NB-3 model, N-myc proteins were enhanced in UKF-NB-3(VCR) and UKF-NB-3(CDDP), compared to the drug naïve controls. p73 was diminished, whereas the p73 isoform deltaNp73 was upregulated in UKF-NB-3(VCR) and UKF-NB-3(CDDP). Valproic acid blocked adhesion of UKF-NB-3(VCR) and UKF-NB-3(CDDP), but not of UKF-NB-3(DOX), and induced the upregulation of NCAM surface expression, NCAM protein content and NCAM coding mRNA. Valproic acid diminished N-myc and enhanced p73 protein level, coupled with downregulation of deltaNp73 in UKF-NB-3(VCR) and UKF-NB-3(CDDP). Valproic acid also reverted enhanced adhesion properties of drug-resistant UKF-NB-2, UKF-NB-6 and SKNSH cells, and therefore may provide an alternative approach to the treatment of drug-resistant NB by blocking invasive processes.
