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 EF-hand protein, S100A4, binds calcium ions and interacts specifically in vitro with protein targets. Elevated levels of S100A4 have been shown to produce a metastatic phenotype in independent models of breast cancer. The presence of S100A4 in the carcinoma cells of patients with different carcinomas is associated with reduced patient survival. In order to identify the region of the S100A4 molecule that is responsible for its metastasis-inducing properties, specific mutant S100A4 genes and proteins have been produced which contain targeted mutations to the two calcium-binding sites and a deletion of the last 15 amino-acid residues of the protein. The ability of the mutant proteins to bind to a potential specific target in vitro, nonmuscle myosin heavy chain, is correlated with their ability to cause motile, invasive and metastatic phenotypes. Mutation of the C-EF hand of S100A4 virtually abolished calcium binding, and motility/invasion in vitro, abolished interaction with a molecular target, and reduced metastasis induction by 2.5-3-fold. However, deletion of the last 15 amino acids of S100A4 reduced motility/invasion, target binding and metastasis-induction to similar extents as the C-EF-hand mutant, but reduced calcium binding by only 26%. The results suggest that the ability to interact with protein target(s) is important in S100A4-induced metastasis.
