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

Hedgehog (Hh) signaling regulates the growth of malignant gliomas by a ligand-dependent mechanism. The cellular source of Sonic Hh ligand and mode of signaling have not been clearly defined due to the lack of methods to definitively identify neoplastic cells in glioma specimens. Using an antibody specific for mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase protein expression to identify glioma cells, we demonstrate that Sonic Hh ligand and the pathway components Patched1 (PTCH1) and GLI1 are expressed in neoplastic cells. Further, Sonic Hh ligand and its transcriptional targets, PTCH1 and GLI1, are expressed in mutually distinct populations of neoplastic cells. These findings support a paracrine mode of intratumoral Hh signaling in malignant gliomas.
