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

Human polymorphic epithelial mucin (MUC1) is a heavily glycosylated large protein that is frequently overexpressed on the surface of many human adenocarcinomas. Studies using monoclonal antibodies (mAb) identified MUC1 as a tumor-associated antigen that has been intensely studied as a target for cancer immunotherapy. We previously identified a mouse IgG(1) mAb that recognizes a sialylated sugar chain, designated as KL-6, classified in 'Cluster 9 (MUC1)'. Using the anti-KL-6 mAb, we investigated antitumor effects of anti-MUC1 mAb on breast cancer cell lines expressing MUC1 abundantly. We showed that anti-KL-6 mAb induced capping of MUC1 and facilitated E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell interaction in the breast cancer cell lines YMB-S and ZR-75-1S, which proliferate in suspension culture without aggregation. Moreover, anti-KL-6 mAb enhanced the cytotoxic activity of lymphokine-activated killer cells. These results indicate that the capping of MUC1 restores cell surface proteins, such as adhesion molecules and tumor antigens, to work in cell-cell interactions, leading to inhibition of tumor proliferation due to cell-cell adhesion and increased accessibility to effector cells that are needed to kill tumor cells.
