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

Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the head and neck are characterized by a high tendency for local invasion and metastasis to lymph nodes. Collagenase-3 (MMP-13) is specifically expressed by tumor cells in SCCs of the head and neck and its expression correlates with their invasion capacity. To specifically examine the role of MMP-13 in the growth and invasion of SCC, we constructed a hammerhead ribozyme targeted against human MMP-13 mRNA. The anti-MMP-13 ribozyme effectively cleaved MMP-13 transcripts in vitro. Adenoviral delivery of the anti-MMP-13 ribozyme to cutaneous metastatic SCC cells in culture resulted in potent and specific inhibition of the production of proMMP-13 and markedly suppressed invasion of SCC cells through Matrigel. In addition, adenoviral delivery of anti-MMP-13 ribozyme promoted apoptosis in SCC cells within 72 h. Intratumoral injection of anti-MMP-13 ribozyme coding adenovirus into human SCC xenografts established in SCID mice potently suppressed tumor growth, inhibited MMP-13 expression and gelatinolytic activity and reduced the number of proliferating cells within the tumors. These results provide evidence for an important role for MMP-13 in SCC growth and invasion and identify MMP-13 as a promising target for ribozyme-based therapy of SCC in vivo.
