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 intracellular events promoting meningioma cell proliferation in high grade tumors are not established. In this study we compared 45 WHO grade I and 35 grade II or III meningiomas by Western blot or immunohistochemistry for phosphorylation/activation of the MEK-1-MAPK, PI3 K-Akt-mTOR-PRAS40 and STAT3 pathways. By Western blot, STAT3 activation was detected in 75% of grade I compared to 100% of grade II and III meningiomas. By immunohistochemistry p-STAT3 was detected in 28% of grade I compared to 65 or 66% of grade II and III meningiomas, respectively. Phosphorylated MEK-1 and p-MAPK were activated in nearly all grade I, II and III tumors. Phosphorylated Akt was also detected in the majority of meningiomas of each grade although downstream pathway component activation was less widespread. These findings suggest that there is increased STAT3 activation in WHO grade II and III meningiomas compared with grade I tumors. Moreover, each of the three major growth regulatory pathways is concomitantly activated in higher grade meningiomas.
