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

In this study, we investigated the protein expression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), insulin like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) in five primary glioblastoma (GB), with a view to their possible use as therapeutic targets. Our results demonstrated that appreciable levels of these proteins could be detected in the analysed GB cell lines, except for a low level of PDGFR and ERK1/2 expression in one GB cell line. The small molecule inhibitors towards IGF-1R, PDGFR, PI3-K and ERK1/2 respectively, have only modest or no anti-tumour activity on GB cells and therefore their combination with other therapy modalities was analysed. The interaction between small inhibitors and radiation was mostly additive or sub-additive; synergistic interaction was found in five of forty analysed combinations. Our results showed that GB cells are in general resistant to treatment and illustrate the difficulties in predicting the treatment response in malignant gliomas.
