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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsMMP-7, a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family, is believed to play a significant role in the growth and proliferation of colon cancer cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate MMP-7 gene expression in comparison with MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 in patients with resectable rectal and colon cancer by a semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). MATERIALS AND

methodsBiopsy samples of tumor ( n=30) and distant normal mucosa ( n=30) from 30 patients were obtained intraoperation. Messenger (m)RNA was extracted from all of the tissue samples and reverse transcribed to double-stranded cDNA. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was performed to study the MMP gene expression in both the tumor and normal mucosal specimens. MMP mRNA values were expressed relative to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) for each sample.

resultsIn all 30 cases an increase in MMP-7 mRNA expression was detected in the cancerous tissue ( p=0.00004). In 21 out of 30 cases an increase in MMP-13 mRNA ( p=0.023) and in 22 out of 30 cases an increase in MMP-3 mRNA ( p=0.075) was detected in the cancerous tissue. In contrast, there was no significant change in the MMP-1 expression of normal and cancerous mucosal specimens in either colon or rectal carcinomas. There were no significant differences between rectum and colon carcinomas.

conclusionTaking into account our earlier studies, we conclude that most cases of colorectal carcinogenesis are characterized by enhanced expression of MMP-7, -13, -3 and the gelatinases, whereas MMP-1-expression is very inconsistent and not overexpressed in many cases. MMP-7 inhibition as well as inhibition of MMP-13 and MMP-3 may be a useful preventive or therapeutic adjunct in colorectal cancer.
