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

HIV-1 Tat plays a role in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma. We therefore investigated the effect of Tat on the growth of murine Kaposi's sarcoma-like spindle (TTB) cells derived from dermal lesions. We observed that Tat and a peptide corresponding to the carboxyl-terminal region (Tat65-80) containing an RGD sequence inhibit TTB cell proliferation only when cells are cultured on fibronectin. This inhibitory effect correlates with redistribution of the alpha(v) integrin subunit on the surface of TTB cells and with down-regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of specific substrates due to an increased tyrosine phosphatase activity. Indeed, phenylarsine oxide, a potent inhibitor of phosphotyrosine phosphatases, prevented the effects of Tat on TTB cells. We therefore argue that the action of Tat on TTB cells is mediated by the RGD motif through an integrin-based cell signaling pathway involving the activity of phosphotyrosine phosphatase(s), which would lead to a decrease in the levels of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins, among which is erk-2/p42MAPK.
