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

Chromosome 1p35-36, which encodes tumor suppressors and mitotic checkpoint control genes, is commonly altered in human malignancies. One gene at this locus, stathmin 1 (STMN1), is involved in cell cycle progression and metastasis. We hypothesized that increased STMN1 expression may play a role in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (pNEN) malignancy. We investigated stathmin copy number variation, mRNA, and protein expression using PCR-Taqman Copy Number Assays, Q-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. A mechanistic role for stathmin in proliferation was assessed in the BON cell line under growth-restrictive conditions and siRNA silencing. Furthermore, its role in PI3K signaling pathway activation was evaluated using pharmacological inhibitors. mRNA (p = 0.0001) and protein (p < 0.05) were overexpressed in pNENs. Expression was associated with pNEN tumor extension (p < 0.05), size (p < 0.01), and Ki67 expression (p < 0.01). Serum depletion decreased Ki67 expression (p < 0.01) as well as Ser38 phosphorylation (p < 0.05) in BON cells. STMN1 knockdown (siRNA) decreased proliferation (p < 0.05), and PI3K inhibitors directly inhibited proliferation via stathmin inactivation (dephosphorylation p < 0.01). We identified that stathmin was overexpressed and associated with pathological parameters in pancreatic NENs. We postulate that STMN1 overexpression and phosphorylation result in a loss of cell cycle mitotic checkpoint control and may render tumors amenable to PI3K inhibitory therapy.
