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 here examined whether c-Jun NH(2) terminal kinase (JNK) might be involved in the progression of urothelial carcinomas. In vitro and in vivo invasion assays using Matrigel and chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane approaches showed constitutive activation of JNK to significantly increase two processes, invasion and angiogenesis, in the human urothelial carcinoma cell line kU-7, this being suppressed by a JNK inhibitor, SP600125, or cell-permeable peptides. In addition, we found that mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase (MKP)-1 functions as an endogenous inhibitor of JNK-mediated signals in urothelial carcinoma cells: chorioallantoic membrane assays showed UMUC14 cells with low MKP-1 expression to be more invasive and have pronounced angiogenesis compared to UMUC6 cells with high MKP-1. Furthermore, knockdown of the MKP-1 gene by siRNA transfection enhanced JNK activation in UMUC6 cells to the UMUC14 level. Immunohistochemically, JNK was found to be highly phosphorylated in high-grade and invasive carcinomas (>/=pT2) as well as carcinoma in situ but not in low-grade and noninvasive phenotypes (pTa, pT1). In contrast, MKP-1 was much more expressed in low-grade/noninvasive cancers than with the high-grade/invasive phenotype, reversely correlating with phosphorylated JNK. Taken together, JNK activation and decreased expression of MKP-1 may play important roles in progression of urothelial carcinoma.
