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 role of the Ras/MEK/ERK pathway was examined in relation to DNA damage in human multiple myeloma (MM) cells exposed to Chk1 inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. Exposure of various MM cells to marginally toxic concentrations of the Chk1 inhibitors UCN-01 or Chk1i modestly induced DNA damage, accompanied by Ras and ERK1/2 activation. Interruption of these events by pharmacologic (eg, the farnesyltransferase inhibitor R115777 or the MEK1/2 inhibitor PD184352) or genetic (eg, transfection with dominant-negative Ras or MEK1 shRNA) means induced pronounced DNA damage, reflected by increased gammaH2A.X expression/foci formation and by comet assay. Increased DNA damage preceded extensive apoptosis. Notably, similar phenomena were observed in primary CD138(+) MM cells. Enforced MEK1/2 activation by B-Raf transfection prevented R115777 but not PD184352 from inactivating ERK1/2 and promoting Chk1 inhibitor-induced gammaH2A.X expression. Finally, coadministration of R115777 diminished UCN-01-mediated ERK1/2 activation and markedly potentiated gammaH2A.X expression in a MM xenograft model, associated with a striking increase in tumor cell apoptosis and growth suppression. Such findings suggest that Ras/MEK/ERK activation opposes whereas its inhibition dramatically promotes Chk1 antagonist-mediated DNA damage. Together, these findings identify a novel mechanism by which agents targeting the Ras/MEK/ERK pathway potentiate Chk1 inhibitor lethality in MM.
