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

p190RhoGAP (p190) is a negative regulator of RhoGTPases and a putative tumor suppressor, whose mechanism of tumor suppression is poorly defined. Ectopic expression of p190 induces various morphological phenotypes, including multinucleation, dendrite-like formation, and chromatin condensation, suggesting an involvement in apoptosis. We examined the possibility that p190 can function as a tumor suppressor by regulating induction of apoptosis. We show that the predominant phenotype of p190 overexpression in a variety of cell lines is apoptosis, which is mediated through p190's regulation of Rho and caspases. The secondary phenotypes, multinucleation and dendrite-like formation, are determined by transformation status, not cell lineage, and appear to be intermediate phenotypes in the p190-induced apoptotic pathway. Finally, we show that p190 levels can regulate the apoptotic response of breast cancer cell lines to docetaxel through its regulation of Rho. Together, these findings suggest that one mechanism by which p190 can mediate its tumor-suppressive function is through regulation of Rho-activated cell death pathways and that this function can be exploited to optimize the action of cytoskeletal-based chemotherapeutics, such as the taxanes.
