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

Enzastaurin is an acyclic bisindolylmaleimide derived from staurosporine that acts as an ATP competitor, and interferes with the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms. Our previous studies have shown that clinically achievable concentrations of this agent induce apoptosis in many glioma cell lines. Our goal in this study was to expand on the previous results and to determine the signalling mechanisms responsible for enzastaurin-induced inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptosis. To address these issues, cell cycle progression following enzastaurin treatment was analysed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) in parallel with analyses of growth and apoptosis signalling pathways. Enzastaurin treatment activated H2AX and Chk2 phosphorylation, and enhanced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family kinases. Inhibition of MAP kinases by chemical inhibitors reduced H2AX and Chk2 phosphorylation and decreased apoptosis induced by enzastaurin. These data call attention to a novel signalling pathway (MAPK/H2AX) to regulate apoptosis in malignant glioma cells.
