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

N-myc oncogene expression plays a pivotal role in the biology of neuroblastoma, a common childhood tumor. High N-myc expression is associated with advanced disease stage, and in animal models, increased expression results in increased metastatic potential. In normal embryologic development, N-myc expression is associated with neuroblast migration out from the neural crest. To further define the relationship between N-myc and metastasis, an in vitro assay was adapted to measure tumor cell attachment, motility, and proteolytic ability in neuroblastoma cell lines. These parameters were examined in a non-amplified, uniformly N-myc overexpressing cell line and its anti-sense N-myc expressing clones. These lines have been characterized previously, and have a decrease in N-myc expression, growth rate, and tumorigenicity relative to the parent line and vector-only control transfectant. Decrease in N-myc expression resulted in a non-proportional increase of tumor cell attachment, and a proportional decrease in both tumor cell motility and proteolytic ability. In further experiments, assay of a N-myc-amplified overexpressing cell line with an intrinsic heterogeneous pattern of expression demonstrated that motile cells expressed higher amounts of N-myc relative to the general population. Together these relationships indicate that N-myc plays a causative role in the invasive phenotype, and suggest that metastasis may, in part, result from the disruption of a developmentally important normal process.
