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

purposeTo examine the role of survivin as a therapeutic target in preclinical models of human malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) EXPERIMENTAL

designSurvivin protein expression levels and subcellular localization were examined immunohistochemically in an MPNST tissue microarray. Human MPNST cells were studied in vitro and in vivo; real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunocytochemical analyses were used to evaluate survivin expression and localization activation. Cell culture assays were used to evaluate the impact of anti-survivin-specific siRNA inhibition on cell growth and cell-cycle progression and survival. The effect of the small-molecule survivin inhibitor YM155 on local and metastatic MPNST growth was examined in vivo.

resultsSurvivin was found to be highly expressed in human MPNSTs; enhanced cytoplasmic subcellular localization differentiated MPNSTs from their plexiform neurofibroma premalignant counterparts. Human MPNST cell lines exhibited survivin mRNA and protein overexpression; expression in both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments was noted. Survivin knockdown abrogated MPNST cell growth, inducing G(2) cell-cycle arrest and marked apoptosis. YM155 inhibited human MPNST xenograft growth and metastasis in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Antitumor effects were more pronounced in fast-growing xenografts.

conclusionsOur studies show an important role for survivin in human MPNST biology. Patients with MPNSTs should be considered for ongoing or future clinical trials that evaluate anti-survivin therapeutic strategies. Most importantly, future investigations should evaluate additional pathways that can be targeted in combination with survivin for maximal synergistic anti-MPNST effects.
