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

We examined the role of phagocyte-derived oxygen radicals in tumor cell acquisition of metastatic phenotype by comparing gp91(phox-/-) mice and C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) mice. The gp91(phox-/-) mouse is deficient in the gp91(phox) gene, an essential subunit of the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase that generates superoxide anion. QR-32 fibrosarcoma cells are nonmetastatic but are converted into metastatic tumors once in contact with foreign body (gelatin sponge)-induced phagocytes in vivo. Compared to QR-32 cells co-implanted with the foreign body in WT mice, those in gp91(phox-/-) mice exhibited reduced metastasis. There was no difference in the incidence of primary tumors after injection of B16BL6 melanoma cells in WT and gp91(phox-/-) mice. However, after resection of the primary tumors, metastases were reduced in gp91(phox-/-) mice. Thymosin beta4 gene expression and cell motility/invasion were seen in the tumors from WT mice but not in those from gp91(phox-/-) mice. Adoptive transfer of phagocytes from WT mice, but not those from gp91(phox-/-) mice, restored the metastatic ability of tumors grown in gp91(phox-/-) mice. These findings show that tumor metastatic behavior can primarily be endowed by phagocyte-derived superoxide anion and its oxidative metabolites, which are generated through activation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase.
