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

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath (MPNST) cell lines derived from patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF!) were found to have basal cAMP levels which are two-fold higher than cAMP levels in normal human adult Schwann cells (nHSC). PCR analysis also revealed that normal adult human Schwann cells express mRNA for types Ill, IV, and IX adenylyl cyclase (AC) while NF1 MPNST cells express AC mRNA of types II, V, and VIII in addition to expressing all the isoforms of normal adult human Schwann cells. Further PCR analysis revealed that NF1 MPNST lines express mRNA for EP2 and EP4 prostaglandin receptors whereas nHSC only express mRNA for the EP2 receptor. Exogenous prostaglandins alone or in combination with PDGF BB induced greater increases in cAMP levels and proliferation of NF1 MPNST cells compared to nHSC. We conclude that aberrant cAMP signaling in NF1 MPNST cells contributes to tumor formation in NF1 patients.
