Divergence in signaling pathways involved in promotion of cell viability mediated by bFGF, NGF, and EGF in PC12 cells.

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
We employed a series of inhibitors of intracellular cascade to disclose the precise molecular mechanisms by which basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) promotes viability of PC12 cells and compared with nerve growth factor (NGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF). The MEK 1 and 2 inhibitors, U0126 and PD98059, significantly suppressed cell viability mediated by bFGF in a dose-dependent manner, and to a greater extent compared with EGF and NGF. The degree of MEK dependency for growth factor-mediated cell viability was estimated to be in the order of bFGF, EGF, and NGF. Rapamycin strongly inhibited the effect of NGF on cell viability, compared with bFGF and EGF. The mechanisms of action of NGF-mediated cell viability may depend largely on p70 S6 kinase-related signal transduction pathways comparing to bFGF and EGF. The present findings suggest that different signal transduction systems may be involved in the molecular mechanisms by which bFGF, NGF, and EGF mediate cell viability.
