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

The Hippo pathway is a tumor suppressor pathway, and most related studies have indicated that its inhibition leads to tumorigenesis. However, recent studies have suggested that the activated Hippo pathway can promote tumorigenesis in certain contexts. Here, we demonstrate that the activated Hippo pathway induces non-cell-autonomous tumorigenesis, characterized by tumor markers in the Drosophila wing epithelium. This suggests that Hippo-activated cells behave similarly to "oncogenic niche cells." We find that Hippo-activated cells induce Dronc-Wingless/Spitz signaling in the hinge/ventral notum region, which causes tumorigenesis. Moreover, we identify the amino acid transporters Sat1/2, which are implicated in amino acid incorporation and function redundantly with the growth factors Wingless and Spitz to facilitate non-cell-autonomous tumorigenesis.
