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

TrkB-mediated activation of the IL6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway is associated with the induction of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program and the acquisition of metastatic potential by tumors. Conversely, the transforming of growth factor-β (TGF-β) is implicated in tumor suppression through the canonical SMAD-dependent signaling pathway. Hence, TrkB could play a role in disrupting the potent TGF-β-mediated growth inhibition, a concept that has not been fully explored. Here, we identified TrkB to be a crucial regulator of the TGF-β signaling pathway as it inhibits the TGF-β-mediated tumor suppression and the activation of TrkB kinase. We further show that the interactions between TrkB and SMADs inhibit TGF-β-mediated R-SMAD/SMAD4 complex formation and suppress TGF-β-induced nuclear translocation and target gene expression. Additionally, the knockdown of TrkB restored the tumor inhibitory activity of TGF-β signaling. These observations suggest that interactions between TrkB and SMADs are critical for the inhibition of TGF-β tumor suppressor activity in cancer cells.
