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 targeting of the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway in melanoma improves the prognosis of patients harbouring the V-Raf Murine Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog B1 (BRAF) mutation. However, a fraction of these patients may experience tumour progression due to resistance to targeted therapy. Mutations affecting the Phosphoinositol-3-Kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway may favour the onset of drug resistance, suggesting the existence of a crosstalk between the MAPK and PI3K-Akt pathways. We hypothesized that the inhibition of both pathways may be a therapeutic option in resistant melanoma. However, conflicting data have been generated in this context. In this study, three different A375 cell melanoma models either overexpressing or not expressing the wild-type or mutated form of the PhosphatidylInositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-Kinase Catalytic Subunit Alpha (
