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

In many cancers, inactivating mutations in both alleles of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) type 11 receptor (TbetaRII) gene occur and correlate with loss of sensitivity to TGF-beta. Here we describe a novel mechanism for loss of sensitivity to growth inhibition by TGF-beta in tumor development. Mac-1 cells, isolated from the blood of a patient with an indolent form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, express wild-type TbetaRII and are sensitive to TGF-beta. Mac-2A cells, clonally related to Mac-1 and isolated from a skin nodule of the same patient at a later, clinically aggressive stage of lymphoma, are resistant to TGF-beta. They express both the wild-type TbetaRII and a receptor with a single point mutation (Asp-404-Gly [D404G]) in the kinase domain (D404G-->TbetaRII); no TbetaRI or TbetaRII is found on the plasma membrane, suggesting that D404G-TbetaRII dominantly inhibits the function of the wild-type receptor by inhibiting its appearance on the plasma membrane. Indeed, inducible expression, under control of a tetracycline-regulated promoter, of D404G-TbetaRII in TGF-beta- sensitive Mac-1 cells as well as in Hep3B hepatoma cells results in resistance to TGF-beta and disappearance of cell surface TbetaRI and TbetaRII. Overexpression of wild-type TbetaRII in Mac-2A cells restores cell surface TbetaRI and TbetaRH and sensitivity to TGF-beta. The ability of the D404G-TbetaRH to dominantly inhibit function of wild-type TGF-beta receptors represents a new mechanism for loss of sensitivity to the growth-inhibitory functions of TGF-beta in tumor development.
