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

H11/HspB8 is a functionally distinct small heat shock protein. It causes growth arrest in melanocytes, associated with the inhibition of Cyclin E/Cdk2 and β-catenin phosphorylation at the transcriptional activity site Ser(552) and is silenced through DNA methylation in 27/35 (77%) melanoma tissues/early cultures. 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (Aza-C) induces melanoma cell death correlated with the levels of H11/HspB8 DNA methylation (p < .001). In line with low/moderate H11/HspB8 methylation, PI3-K inhibition increases Aza-C-induced cell death. Aza-C inhibits the growth of melanoma xenografts related to the levels of H11/HspB8 methylation, and a nonmethylated/non-TAK1 binding H11/HspB8 mutant confers Aza-C resistance. H11/HspB8 is a potential molecular marker for demethylation therapies.
