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

Neuroblastomas (NBs) have heterogeneous clinical behavior, from spontaneous regression or differentiation to relentless progression. Evidence from our laboratory and others suggests that neurotrophin receptors contribute to these disparate behaviors. Previously, the role of TRK receptors in NB pathogenesis was investigated. In the present study, the expression of RET and its co‑receptors in a panel of NB cell lines was investigated and responses to cognate ligands GDNF, NRTN, and ARTN with GFRα1‑3 co‑receptor expression, respectively were found to be correlated. RET expression was high in NBLS, moderate in SY5Y, low/absent in NBEBc1 and NLF cells. All cell lines expressed at least one of GFRα co‑receptors. In addition, NBLS, SY5Y, NBEBc1 and NLF cells showed different morphological changes in response to ligands. As expected, activation of RET/GFRα3 by ARTN resulted in RET phosphorylation. Interestingly, activation of TrkA by its cognate ligand NGF resulted in RET phosphorylation at Y905, Y1015, and Y1062, and this was inhibited in a dose‑dependent manner by the TRK inhibitor (CEP‑701). Conversely, RET activation by ARTN in NBLS cells led to phosphorylation of TrkA. This suggests a physical association between RET and TRK proteins, and cross‑talk between these two receptor pathways. Finally, RET, GFR and TRK expression in primary tumors was investigated and a significant association between RET, its co‑receptors and TRK expression was demonstrated. Thus, the present data support a complex model of interacting neurotrophin receptor pathways in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation in NBs.
