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

NF-kappaB is a family of transcription factors that have been shown to be elevated in a variety of tumor types and in some cases central to their survival and growth. Here we present evidence that U-87 MG and U-118 MG growth is regulated by NF-kappaB and controlled by PDGF. NF-kappaB activity was suppressed by a dominant negative mutant of the human PDGF type beta receptor and PDGF-B chain neutralizing antibodies. Creation of cell lines that had inducible expression of shRNAs directed against either c-Rel or RelA inhibited growth almost 90% indicating that NF-kappaB plays a central role in glioblastoma growth.
