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

Normal cells undergo anoikis when they lose adhesion to or encounter an inappropriate extracellular matrix. By contrast, oncogenic signaling in tumor cells enables resistance to anoikis, a trait that contributes to tumor progression. The B-RAF serine-threonine kinase is mutated in multiple cancers and functions as an oncogene in melanoma. Previously, we demonstrated that B-RAF and downstream mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) signaling are necessary for protection from anoikis in mutant B-RAF-expressing melanoma cells. Regulation of Bcl-2 family members in melanoma and their role in B-RAF-mediated survival is poorly defined. Here, we provide evidence that B-RAF-MEK signaling protects against anoikis through alterations in two proapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins: Bcl-xL/Bcl-2-associated death promoter (Bad) and Bcl-2-interacting mediator of cell death (Bim). B-RAF-MEK signaling regulates phosphorylation of the inhibitory serine-75 residue of Bad, and decreases Bad mRNA expression. RNA interference and overexpression experiments demonstrate that Bad contributes to the susceptibility of B-RAF-depleted cells to anoikis. Additionally, B-RAF-MEK signaling regulates the expression of Bim(EL), mainly through control of protein turnover. Increased Bim(EL) levels induce apoptosis in suspended cells and are required for anoikis in B-RAF-depleted cells. Depletion of Bim together with Bad has an additive effect on protecting B-RAF knockdown cells from anoikis. Together, our data show that Bad and Bim are major B-RAF responsive proteins regulating apoptosis in melanoma cells.
