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

More than 40% of colon cancers have a mutation in K-RAS or N-RAS, GTPases that operate as central hubs for multiple key signaling pathways within the cell. Utilizing an isogenic panel of colon carcinoma cells with K-RAS or N-RAS variations, we observed differences in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha)-induced apoptosis. When the dynamics of phosphorylated ERK response to TNFalpha were examined, K-RAS mutant cells showed lower activation whereas N-RAS mutant cells exhibited prolonged duration. These divergent trends were partially explained by differential induction of two ERK-modulatory circuits: negative feedback mediated by dual-specificity phosphatase 5 and positive feedback by autocrine transforming growth factor-alpha. Moreover, in the various RAS mutant colon carcinoma lines, the transforming growth factor-alpha autocrine loop differentially elicited a further downstream chemokine (CXCL1/CXCL8) autocrine loop, with the two loops having opposite effects on apoptosis. Although the apoptotic responses of the RAS mutant panel to TNFalpha treatment showed significant dependence on the respective phosphorylated ERK dynamics, successful prediction across the various cell lines required contextual information concerning additional pathways including IKK and p38. A quantitative computational model based on weighted linear combinations of these pathway activities successfully predicted not only the spectrum of cell death responses but also the corresponding chemokine production responses. Our findings indicate that diverse RAS mutations yield differential cell behavioral responses to inflammatory cytokine exposure by means of (a) differential effects on ERK activity via multiple feedback circuit mechanisms, and (b) differential effects on other key signaling pathways contextually modulating ERK-related dependence.
