Differential expression of NF1 type I and type II isoforms in sporadic borderline and invasive epithelial ovarian tumors.
Article in Oncogene, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 NF1 gene, a putative tumor suppressor gene, contains a GAP related domain (GRD) which accelerates hydrolysis of ras-bound GTP to GDP, thereby converting the ras oncogene from its active to inactive form. Two forms of the NF1 GRD transcript (Type I and Type II) are differentially expressed in neuroectodermal tumor tissue relative to differentiated neural cells, and in gastric cancer cell lines relative to normal stomach mucosa. We measured relative expression of NF1 Type II and Type I isoforms in cultured normal and malignant human ovarian surface epithelial cells(HOSE) and in invasive and borderline ovarian tumor tissue. We demonstrated an 11-fold increase in Type II:Type I ratio in 7 HOSE cultures relative to eight ovarian cancer cell lines. Our findings indicate a significant decrease in Type II isoform expression and increase in Type I expression in ovarian cancer cells and tumor tissue relative to HOSE cells. We also demonstrate an increase in Type II:Type I ratio, and a decrease in cell proliferation rate in three ovarian cancer cell lines on treatment with retinoic acid. We propose that differential expression of the NF1 Type I and Type II isoforms is related to cellular differentiation in ovarian epithelial cancer and strategies based on alteration in NF1 isoform expression may have therapeutic potential in ovarian malignancies.
