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 h-prune protein is a member of the DHH protein superfamily, and its overexpression in breast, colorectal and gastric cancers correlates with depth of invasion and degree of lymph-node metastasis. Taken together with the observation that h-prune is highly expressed in metastatic breast cancer, this suggests that h-prune can be used as a marker for the identification of subsets of cancer patients with highly aggressive tumours. H-prune possesses a phosphodiesterase (cAMP-PDE) activity, and inhibition of PDE activity with dipyridamole suppresses cell motility. H-prune interacts with nm23-H1, GSK-3beta and gelsolin. Although a correlation between an h-prune PDE activity and cellular motility has been shown, GSK-3beta does not affect the PDE activity of h-prune. Inhibition of the interactions between h-prune and GSK-3beta and nm23-H1 additively suppresses the migration of colon cancer and breast cancer cells, thus suggesting that h-prune regulates cell motility by two different means of action: through its PDE activity and in its interactions with protein partners. Therefore, the identification of highly specific inhibitors of h-prune should be useful in the development of drugs to treat cancer metastasis.
