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

Gliomas are the most common and deadly tumors in the central nervous system (CNS). In the course of studying the role of chemoattractant receptors in tumor growth and metastasis, we discovered that highly malignant human glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma specimens were stained positively for the formylpeptide receptor (FPR), which is normally expressed in myeloid cells and accounts for their chemotaxis and activation induced by bacterial peptides. Screening of human glioma cell lines revealed that FPR was expressed selectively in glioma cell lines with a more highly malignant phenotype. FPR expressed in glioblastoma cell lines mediates cell chemotaxis, proliferation and production of an angiogenic factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), in response to agonists released by necrotic tumor cells. Furthermore, FPR in glioblastoma cells activates the receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGFR) by increasing the phosphorylation of a selected tyrosine residue in the intracellular tail of EGFR. Thus, FPR hijacked by human glioblastoma cells exploits the function of EGFR to promote rapid tumor progression.
