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

purposeIspinesib (SB-715992) is a potent inhibitor of kinesin spindle protein, a kinesin motor protein essential for the formation of a bipolar mitotic spindle and cell cycle progression through mitosis. Clinical studies of ispinesib have shown a 9% response rate in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer and a favorable safety profile without significant neurotoxicities, gastrointestinal toxicities, or hair loss. To better understand the potential of ispinesib in the treatment of breast cancer, we explored the activity of ispinesib alone and in combination with several therapies approved for the treatment of breast cancer. EXPERIMENTAL

designWe measured the ispinesib sensitivity and pharmacodynamic response of breast cancer cell lines representative of various subtypes in vitro and as xenografts in vivo and tested the ability of ispinesib to enhance the antitumor activity of approved therapies.

resultsIn vitro, ispinesib displayed broad antiproliferative activity against a panel of 53 breast cell lines. In vivo, ispinesib produced regressions in each of five breast cancer models and tumor-free survivors in three of these models. The effects of ispinesib treatment on pharmacodynamic markers of mitosis and apoptosis were examined in vitro and in vivo, revealing a greater increase in both mitotic and apoptotic markers in the MDA-MB-468 model than in the less sensitive BT-474 model. In vivo, ispinesib enhanced the antitumor activity of trastuzumab, lapatinib, doxorubicin, and capecitabine and exhibited activity comparable with paclitaxel and ixabepilone.

conclusionsThese findings support further clinical exploration of kinesin spindle protein inhibitors for the treatment of breast cancer.
