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

Melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) is an 11-kDa secretory protein isolated from malignant melanoma cells that is correlated with invasion and metastasis in various human malignancies. We examined MIA expression in 62 oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) by immunohistochemistry. MIA expression was significantly associated with nodal metastasis (P = 0.00018). MIA expression was also associated with expression of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) (P < 0.0001) and lymph vessel density (P < 0.0001). Expression levels of MIA, HMGB1, nuclear factor kB (NFkB) p65 and HMGB1-NFkB p65 binding were significantly higher in a metastatic human OSCC cell line (HSC3) than those in a non-metastatic OSCC cell line (HSC4). Treatment with receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) antisense or small interfering RNA and human recombinant HMGB1 (hrHMGB1) did not affect MIA expression, whereas HMGB1 antisense or siRNA treatment decreased MIA expression in HSC3 cells. Then HMGB1 enhanced MIA expression as an NFkB cofactor but not as a RAGE ligand. MIA neutralization by MIA antibodies increased extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 phosphorylation, but decreased p38 phosphorylation and the expression of vascular epithelial growth factor (VEGF)-C and -D. Treatment with p38 inihibitor decreased VEGF-C and -D expression in HSC3 cells. These results suggest that MIA expression is enhanced by the interaction of intracellular HMGB1 and NFkBp65 and MIA is closely involved in tumor progression and nodal metastasis by the increments of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in OSCC.
