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

objectsTo improve the therapy of advanced neuroblastoma (NB), it is critical to develop animal models that mimic NB bone metastases. Unlike the human disease, NB xenograft models rarely metastasize spontaneously to bone from the orthotopic site of primary tumor growth.

methodsSingle-cell suspensions of SY5Y, KCNR NB cells were injected directly into the femur of nude mice. Radiological and histological analyses and immunohistochemistry analyses were performed to characterize these osseous NB models. SY5Y and KCNR result in osteolytic responses.

resultsWe have detected osteoprotegerin, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand, parathyroid hormone-related protein, and endothelin-1, proteins associated with bone growth and osteolysis, and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) involved in tumor growth and tumor cell migration in the NB cells grown in the bone.

conclusionsThese animal models can be used to study biological interactions, pathways, and potential therapeutic targets and also to evaluate new agents for treatment and prevention of NB bone metastasis.
