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 previously found the apoptosis inhibitor Survivin to be expressed in melanocytic nevi and melanoma but not in normal melanocytes. To investigate the role of Survivin in melanoma development and progression, we examined the consequences of forced Survivin expression in melanocytes in vivo. Transgenic (Tg) mouse lines (Dct-Survivin) were generated with melanocyte-specific expression of Survivin, and melanocytes grown from Dct-Survivin mice expressed Survivin. Dct-Survivin melanocytes exhibited decreased susceptibility to UV-induced apoptosis but no difference in proliferative capacity compared with melanocytes derived from non-Tg littermates. Induction of nevi in Dct-Survivin and non-Tg mice by topical application of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene did not reveal significant differences in lesion onset (median, 10 weeks) or density (4 lesions per mouse after 15 weeks). Dct-Survivin mice were bred with melanoma-prone MH19/HGF-B6 Tg mice, and all progeny expressing either individual, neither, or both (Survivin/HGF) transgenes were UV-treated as neonates and then monitored for 43 weeks. Melanocytes in neonatal Survivin+/HGF+ mouse skin were less susceptible to UV-induced apoptosis than those from Survivin-/HGF+ mice. Onset of melanocytic tumors was earlier (median, 18 versus 24 weeks; P = 0.01, log-rank test), and overall tumor density was greater (7.7 versus 5.2 tumors per mouse; P = 0.04) in Survivin+/HGF+ compared with Survivin-/HGF+ mice. Strikingly, melanomas arising in Survivin+/HGF+ mice showed a greater tendency for lymph node (35% versus 0%; P = 0.04) and lung (53% versus 22%) metastasis and lower rates of spontaneous apoptosis than those in Survivin-/HGF+ mice. These studies show a role for Survivin in promoting both early and late events of UV-induced melanoma development in vivo.
