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

To understand the mechanisms underlying bone marrow metastasis precisely, we established the highly metastatic 4T1E/M3 murine breast cancer cell line. 4T1 murine breast cancer cells were transfected with the neomycin resistance gene, selected in G418, intravenously injected into mice, and harvested from bone marrow. By repeating this protocol three times, we established the 4T1E/M3 cells. The clonality of 4T1E/M3 cells was markedly high confirmed by genomic southern analysis using neo-gene probe. When tissues harvested from mice after intravenous injection of 4T1E/M3 cells were examined histologically, markedly enhanced bone marrow metastasis was observed; 77% of spines from 4T1E/M3-injected mouse showed metastasis as compared to 14% metastasis seen with the parent cells. In vitro, 4T1E/M3 cells attached more strongly to the plastic plate and to bone marrow-derived endothelial cells. DNA micro arrays, real time RT-PCR and FACS analyses revealed that the expression of ICAM-1 and beta2 integrin was upregulated in 4T1E/M3 cells at both the mRNA and cell surface protein levels. 4T1E/M3 cells also showed greater anchorage-independent proliferation in soft agar, and migrated markedly faster than the parent cells in wound healing assays. Anti-ICAM-1 antibodies strongly inhibited both the colony formation and the migration activity of 4T1E/M3 suggesting the importance of the role of ICAM-1. Our newly established highly metastatic 4T1E/M3 cells may provide a potentially powerful tool to study the molecular mechanisms of bone marrow metastasis and to identify new molecular targets for therapeutic interventions.
