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

Eosinophils are usually associated with parasitic and allergic diseases; however, eosinophilia is also observed in several types of human tumors, including breast carcinomas. In this study we examined several human breast carcinoma cell lines for adhesion molecule expression and the ability to bind and activate eosinophils. MDA-MB-435S and MDA-MB-468 cells constitutively expressed both intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and this expression was enhanced by treatment with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). BT-20 and SK-BR-3 cells only expressed ICAM-1 or VCAM-1 after stimulation with TNF-alpha. Eosinophils constitutively bound to MDA-MB-435S cells, but not to BT-20 cells. Stimulation with TNF-alpha slightly enhanced eosinophil adhesion to MDA-MB-435S cells and dramatically increased adhesion to BT-20 cells. Greater than 80% of eosinophil adhesion to these cell lines was blocked with an anti-alpha4-integrin monoclonal antibody. Both MDA-MB-435S and BT-20 cells also released eosinophil activator(s). Supernatants from TNF-alpha-treated, but not control-treated, cell lines increased eosinophil adhesion to fibronectin and increased eosinophil transmigration across fibronectin-coated transwell plates. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays showed that TNF-alpha-stimulated breast carcinoma cells released the chemokine regulated on activation, T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES). Addition of an anti-RANTES antibody to breast carcinoma cell supernatants partially blocked eosinophil activation suggesting that RANTES in these supernatants was participating in eosinophil activation. These data show that TNF-alpha-stimulated breast carcinoma cells express mediators that can both bind and activate eosinophils, suggesting a mechanism for eosinophil localization to breast carcinoma sites.
