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

Neuroblastoma, derived from neural crest progenitor cells, is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood. Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) is a primary mediator of tumor progression and metastasis in several human cancers. In this study, we investigated the potential contribution of AEG-1 in human neuroblastoma pathogenesis. AEG-1 expression was significantly elevated in neuroblastoma patient-derived samples and neuroblastoma cell lines as compared with normal peripheral nerve tissues, normal astrocytes and immortalized melanocytes. Knockdown of AEG-1 by small interfering RNA reduced the tumorigenic properties of highly aggressive neuroblastoma cells. Conversely, over-expression of AEG-1 enhanced proliferation and expression of the transformed state in less aggressive neuroblastoma cells through activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt-signaling pathway and stabilization of MYCN. These provocative results indicate that AEG-1 may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma and could represent a potential target for therapeutic intervention.
