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

Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is an aggressive cancer of adolescents in need of effective treatment. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 is an autocrine growth factor for EwS, but only 10% of patients respond to IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) blockade. Although EwS is presumed to originate from mesenchymal progenitors during bone development, targeting of the EwS driver oncogene EWS::FLI1 to the mesenchymal lineage in a mouse model does not result in tumor formation but in skeletal malformations and perinatal death. We report that transient exposure to IGF-1 concentrations mimicking serum levels during puberty reprograms limb-derived mesenchymal cells of EWS::FLI1-mutant mice to stable transformation and tumorigenicity. We identify a modular mechanism of IGF-1-driven tumor promotion in the early steps of EwS pathogenesis, in which Yap1 plays a central role. Pharmacologic Yap1/Tead inhibition reverses the transformed phenotype of EWS::FLI1-expressing cells. Our data provide a rationale for combined IGF-1R and YAP/TEAD inhibition in the treatment of EwS patients.
