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

purposeGastric cancer remains a major health concern, and improvement of the therapeutic options is crucial. Treatment with targeted therapeutics such as the EGFR-targeting antibody cetuximab or the HER2-targeting antibody trastuzumab is either ineffective or moderately effective in this disease, respectively. In this study, we analysed the involvement of the HER receptor ligands amphiregulin (AREG), epidermal growth factor (EGF), heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) and transforming growth factor alpha (TGFα) in the responsiveness of gastric cancer cell lines to cetuximab and trastuzumab.

methodsA panel of 11 gastric cancer cell lines was characterized for cetuximab and trastuzumab sensitivity, ligand secretion and expression and activation of the HER receptors using WST-1 cell proliferation assays, ELISAs and Western blot analyses. We further investigated the effects of an exogenous ligand application on the cetuximab and trastuzumab sensitivity.

resultsWe found no correlation between TGFα secretion and the sensitivity to cetuximab or trastuzumab. For AREG, we confirmed previous results indicating that this ligand is a positive predictor of cetuximab sensitivity. Exogenous HB-EGF was effective in rescuing sensitive cell lines from inhibition of cell proliferation by both, cetuximab and trastuzumab.

conclusionsOur data indicate that HB-EGF may be a useful marker for the prediction of trastuzumab sensitivity in gastric cancer.
