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

Aberrant Notch signaling and Ras pathway had been highlighted a potential role for in human cancers. Yet, relatively little was known about the roles of wild type Notch signaling and Ras in human hepatocarcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of Ras-Notch signaling cooperation in hepatic cells transformation and proliferation. Hepatocellular carcinoma specimens from 25 patients were analyzed for Notch-1, Ras and Late Simian Virus 40 Factor (LSF) expression using immunohistochemistry. Results showed that Notch-1(76%, 19/25, P < 0.0001), Ras (40%, 10/25, P < 0.01) and LSF (84%, 21/25, P < 0.0001) were significantly up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma compared with non-cancer samples. The correlations between the expression and the biological effects of Notch1 and Ras were analyzed by genetic and pharmacological methods. Constitutively active Notch1 alone failed to transform immortalized L02 cells in vivo, it synergized with the Ras pathway to promote hepatic cells transformation. However, their cooperation increased the levels of LSF mRNA and protein, which stimulates L02 cells proliferation. These results exhibited highly aggressive progression, suggesting that Notch-Ras cooperation maybe lead to poor prognosis. Thus, combining the inhibition of the two pathways provided an attractive avenue for therapeutic intervention to overcome this advanced disease.
