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

Low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatases (LMW-PTPs) are an enzyme family that plays a key role in cell proliferation control by dephosphorylating/inactivating both tyrosine kinase receptors (such as PDGF, insulin, and ephrin receptors) and docking proteins (such, as beta-catenin) endowed with both adhesion and transcriptional activity. Besides being a frequent event in human tumors, overexpression of LMW-PTP has been recently demonstrated to be sufficient to induce neoplastic transformation. We recently demonstrated that overexpression of LMW-PTP strongly potentiates the stability of cell-cell contacts at the adherens junction level, which powerfully suggests that LMW-PTP may also contribute to cancer invasivity. Focusing on mechanisms by which LMW-PTP is involved in cancer onset and progression, the emerging picture is that LMW-PTP strongly increases fibronectin-mediated cell adhesion and mobility but, paradoxically, decreases cell proliferation. Nevertheless, LMW-PTP-transfected NIH3T3 fibroblasts engrafted in nude mice induce the onset of larger fibrosarcomas, which are endowed with higher proliferation activity as compared to mock-transfected controls. Quite opposite effects have been obtained with engrafted fibroblasts transfected with a dominant-negative form of LMW-PTP. Notably, in sarcoma extracts, LMW-PTP overexpression greatly influences the ephrin A2 (EphA2) but not PDGF receptor or beta-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation. The high association of dephosphorylated EphA2 overexpression with most human cancers and our observation that cell growth stimulation by LMW-PTP overexpression is restricted to the in vivo model, strongly suggest that LMW-PTP oncogenic potential is mediated by its EphA2 tyrosine dephosphorylating activity.
