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

purposeNeuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most common extracranial solid tumors in children and is known for its clinical and biological heterogeneity. The aim of this study is to reveal the functional role of src family kinases in the biological behavior of NB by inhibiting their kinase activities with a specific inhibitor, PP2 (4-amino-5-(4-chloro-phenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine).

methodsNB cell lines (SH-SY5Y, IMR32, RT-BM-1, CHP134, NLF, and LA-N-5) were treated with 0.1-10 µM of PP2. Morphological changes, cell growth, and cell death were assessed, as well as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced neuronal differentiation and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced proliferation.

resultsAt 24 h after PP2 treatment, NB cell lines showed drastic cell aggregation. PP2 also inhibited cell growth of NB in a dose-dependent manner. Apoptosis was detected in these cells. ATRA-induced neuronal differentiation of RT-BM-1 was not affected by PP2. PP2 reduced the proliferative effect of EGF. EGF-induced rapid activation of Akt, which was not blocked by PP2 treatment, suggesting that the cellular events triggered by PP2 were independent to PI3 kinase/Akt signaling pathway.

conclusionOur data suggests that src family kinases promote cell survival/proliferation and reduces cell aggregation of NBs. Src family kinase inhibitors may be good candidates for a novel molecular target therapy.
