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

The Raf-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT pathways are two downstream effectors of the small GTPase Ras. Although both pathways are positively regulated by Ras, the Raf-MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways have been shown to control opposing functions within the cell, suggesting a need for cross-talk regulation. The PI3K-AKT pathway can inhibit the Raf-MAPK pathway directly during processes such as muscle differentiation. Here we describe the ability of the Raf-MAPK pathway to negatively regulate the PI3K-AKT pathway during cellular arrest. Constitutive activation of Raf or methyl ethyl ketone 1 (MEK1) leads to inhibition of AKT and cellular arrest. Furthermore, we show that activation of Raf-MEK1 signaling causes negative feedback inhibition of Ras through the ephrin receptor EphA2. EphA2-mediated negative feedback inhibition is required for Raf-induced AKT inhibition and cell cycle arrest, therefore establishing the inhibition of the Ras-PI3K-AKT pathway as a necessary event for the Raf-MEK1-regulated cellular arrest.
