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

The retinoblastoma protein, pRb, is a key regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, as well as checkpoint and stress responses. The function of Rb is often inactivated in many types of cancers, a feature that can potentially be used to target this specific subset of cancers. However little is known about how the loss of Rb function can be exploited in cancer therapies. In this review, we overview the functions of Rb, and discuss a genetic screen that led to the finding that inactivation of TSC2 and Rb induces synergistic cell death in both Drosophila developing tissues and human cancer cells. The mechanisms for synergistic cell death involve the accumulation of cellular stress, suggesting that inactivation of TSC2 and chemotherapeutic agents that result in induction of cellular stress can potentially be combined to treat cancers harboring inactivated Rb.
