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

backgroundERBB receptor tyrosine kinases can mediate proliferation, migration, adhesion, differentiation, and survival in many types of cells and play critical roles in many malignancies. Recent reports suggest a role for EGFR signaling in proliferation and survival of neuroblastoma, a common form of pediatric cancer that often has an extremely poor outcome.

methodsThe authors examined ERBB family expression in neuroblastoma cell lines and patient samples by flow cytometry, western blot, and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR). Response to ERBB inhibition was assessed in vitro by cell-cycle analysis and western blot and in vivo by serial tumor-size measurements.

resultsA panel of neuroblastoma cell lines and primary patient tumors expressed EGFR, HER-3, and HER-4, with HER-2 in some tumors. HER-4 mRNA was expressed predominantly in cleavable isoforms. Whereas EGFR inhibition with erlotinib and pan-ERBB inhibition with CI-1033 inhibited EGF-induced phosphorylation of EGFR, AKT, and ERK1/2, only CI-1033 induced growth inhibition and dose-dependent apoptosis in vitro. Both CI-1033 and erlotinib treatment of neuroblastoma xenograft tumors resulted in decreased tumor growth in vivo, although CI-1033 was more effective. In vivo expression of EGFR was observed predominantly in vascular endothelial cells.

conclusionsPan-ERBB inhibition is required for ERBB-related neuroblastoma apoptosis in vitro, although EGFR contributes indirectly to tumor growth in vivo. Inhibition of EGFR in endothelial cells may be an important aspect of erlotinib's impact on neuroblastoma growth in vivo. Our results suggest that non-EGFR ERBB family members contribute directly to neuroblastoma growth and survival, and pan-ERBB inhibition represents a potential therapeutic target for treating neuroblastoma.
