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

Soft-tissue sarcomas are heterogeneous cancers that can present with tissue-specific differentiation markers. To examine the cellular basis for this histopathological variation and to identify sarcoma-relevant molecular pathways, we generated a chimeric mouse model in which sarcoma-associated genetic lesions can be introduced into discrete, muscle-resident myogenic and mesenchymal cell lineages. Expression of Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene [Kras(G12V)] and disruption of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A; p16p19) in prospectively isolated satellite cells gave rise to pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas (MyoD-, Myogenin- and Desmin-positive), whereas introduction of the same oncogenetic hits in nonmyogenic progenitors induced pleomorphic sarcomas lacking myogenic features. Transcriptional profiling demonstrated that myogenic and nonmyogenic Kras; p16p19(null) sarcomas recapitulate gene-expression signatures of human rhabdomyosarcomas and identified a cluster of genes that is concordantly up-regulated in both mouse and human sarcomas. This cluster includes genes associated with Ras and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, a finding consistent with activation of the Ras and mTOR pathways both in Kras; p16p19(null) sarcomas and in 26-50% of human rhabdomyosarcomas surveyed. Moreover, chemical inhibition of Ras or mTOR signaling arrested the growth of mouse Kras; p16p19(null) sarcomas and of human rhabdomyosarcoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, these data demonstrate the critical importance of lineage commitment within the tumor cell-of-origin in determining sarcoma histotype and introduce an experimental platform for rapid dissection of sarcoma-relevant cellular and molecular events.
