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

The contribution of lineage identity and differentiation state to malignant transformation is controversial. We have previously shown that adult neural stem and early progenitor cells give origin to glioblastoma. Here we systematically assessed the tumor-initiating potential of adult neural populations at various stages of lineage progression. Cell type-specific tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase transgenes were used to target glioblastoma-relevant tumor suppressors Nf1, Trp53 and Pten in late-stage neuronal progenitors, neuroblasts and differentiated neurons. Mutant mice showed cellular and molecular defects demonstrating the impact of tumor suppressor loss, with mutant neurons being the most resistant to early changes associated with tumor development. However, we observed no evidence of glioma formation. These studies show that increasing lineage restriction is accompanied by decreasing susceptibility to malignant transformation, indicating a glioblastoma cell-of-origin hierarchy in which stem cells sit at the apex and differentiated cell types are least susceptible to tumorigenesis.
