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

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most frequently observed among extracranial pediatric solid tumors. It displays an extreme clinical heterogeneity, in particular for the presentation at diagnosis and response to treatment, often depending on cancer cell differentiation/stemness. The frequent presence of elevated hematic and urinary levels of catecholamines in patients affected by NB suggests that the dissection of adrenergic system is crucial for a better understanding of this cancer. β3-adrenoreceptor (β3-AR) is the last identified member of adrenergic receptors, involved in different tumor conditions, such as melanoma. Multiple studies have shown that the dysregulation of the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) metabolism and signaling is involved in many pathological diseases including cancer. However, whether S1P is crucial for NB progression and aggressiveness is still under investigation. Here we provide experimental evidence that β3-AR is expressed in NB, both human specimens and cell lines, where it is critically involved in the activation of proliferation and the regulation between stemness/differentiation, via its functional cross-talk with sphingosine kinase 2 (SK2)/S1P receptor 2 (S1P
