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

During breast cancer development, the luminal space of the mammary acinar unit fills with proliferating epithelial cells that exhibit growth factor-independence, cell attachment defects, and a more invasive fibroblastic phenotype. Here, we used primary cultures of mammary epithelial cells derived from genetically engineered mice to identify caveolin-1 (Cav-1) as a critical factor for maintaining the normal architecture of the mammary acinar unit. Isolated cultures of normal mammary epithelial cells retained the capacity to generate mammary acini within extracellular matrix. However, those from Cav-1 (-/-) mice exhibited defects in three-dimensional acinar architecture, including disrupted lumen formation and epidermal growth factor-independent growth due to hyperactivation of the p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. In addition, Cav-1-null mammary epithelial cells deprived of exogenous extracellular matrix underwent a spontaneous epithelial-mesenchymal transition, with reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, and E-cadherin redistribution. Mechanistically, these phenotypic changes appear to be caused by increases in matrix metalloproteinase-2/9 secretion and transforming growth factor-beta/Smad-2 hyperactivation. Finally, loss of Cav-1 potentiated the ability of growth factors (hepatocyte growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor) to induce mammary acini branching, indicative of a more invasive fibroblastic phenotype. Thus, a Cav-1 deficiency profoundly affects mammary epithelia by modulating the activation state of important signaling cascades. Primary cultures of Cav-1-deficient mammary epithelia will provide a valuable new model to study the spatial/temporal progression of mammary cell transformation.
