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

ERBB2, a receptor tyrosine kinase amplified in breast cancer, is a well established regulator of tumor growth in vivo and anoikis resistance leading to disruption of architecture in three-dimensional mammary epithelial acinar structures in vitro. ERBB2 promotes anoikis resistance by maintaining signaling pathways and by rescuing metabolic defects and thus inhibiting accumulation of deleterious reactive oxygen species. Recent evidence suggests that hypoxia, via hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), can inhibit anoikis; thus, we hypothesized that HIF-1 may play a role in ERBB2-mediated anoikis resistance and oncogenesis. Indeed, tumors isolated from MMTV-Neu mice contain elevated HIF-1α levels and tumor cells created from MMTV-Neu mice harboring deletion of Hif1α alleles reduced primary tumor growth in vivo. ERBB2 overexpressing cancer cells stabilize HIF under normoxic conditions and require HIF-1 for ERBB2-mediated anchorage-independence, three-dimensional culture growth and anoikis resistance. HIF-1 reduction in ERBB2 cells was associated with induction of the pro-anoikis protein BIM and decreased ERK and AKT signaling during cell detachment. ERBB2-mediated inhibition of metabolic defects, including decreased reactive oxygen species generation in suspension, required HIF-1 expression that was critical for ERBB2-mediated oncogenesis. Gene expression profiling of hypoxic three-dimensional acinar structures identified a number of genes elevated in response to hypoxia that are known ERBB2 targets, suggesting that hypoxic conditions and ERBB2 overexpression share both phenotypic and genetic components via HIF-1 regulation. Thus, our data demonstrate that ERBB2 requires HIF-1 for tumor growth and suggest that HIF is a major downstream regulator of ERBB2 that protects cells from anoikis and metabolic stress caused by decreased matrix adhesion.
