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

In this study, we establish an MCF-7 xenograft model that mimics the progression of human breast carcinomas typified by loss of p53 integrity, development of centrosome amplification, acquired estrogen receptor (ERalpha) heterogeneity, overexpression of Mdm2 and metastatic spread from the primary tumor to distant organs. MCF-7 cells with abrogated p53 function (vMCF-7(Dnp53)) maintained nuclear ERalpha expression and normal centrosome characteristics in vitro. However, following mitogen stimulation, they developed centrosome amplification and a higher frequency of aberrant mitotic spindles. Centrosome amplification was dependent on cdk2/cyclin activity since treatment with the small molecule inhibitor SU9516 suppressed centriole reduplication. In contrast to the parental MCF-7 cells, when introduced into nude mice as xenografts, tumors derived from the vMCF-7(DNp53) cell line developed a strikingly altered phenotype characterized by increased tumor growth, higher tumor histopathology grade, centrosome amplification, loss of nuclear ERalpha expression, increased expression of Mdm-2 oncoprotein and resistance to the antiestrogen tamoxifen. Importantly, while MCF-7 xenografts did not develop distant metastases, primary tumors derived from vMCF-7(DNp53) cells gave rise to lung metastases. Taken together, these observations indicate that abrogation of p53 function and consequent deregulation of the G1/S cell cycle transition leads to centrosome amplification responsible for breast cancer progression.
