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

Overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is associated with enhanced activation of wild-type (hyperactive) Ras in breast cancer. Little is known about the regulation of Ras inactivation and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), such as p120GAP, in cells with hyperactive Ras. Recently, we showed that in EGFR-overexpressing A431 cells, which lack endogenous Annexin A6 (AnxA6), ectopic expression of AnxA6 stimulates membrane recruitment of p120GAP to modulate Ras signalling. We now demonstrate that, AnxA6 is downregulated in a number of EGFR-overexpressing and estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer cells. In these cells, AnxA6 overexpression promotes Ca(2+)- and EGF-inducible membrane targeting of p120GAP. In ER-negative MDA-MB-436 cells, overexpression of p120GAP, but not CAPRI or a p120GAP mutant lacking the AnxA6-binding domain inhibits Ras/MAPK activity. AnxA6 knockdown in MDA-MB-436 increases Ras activity and cell proliferation in anchorage-independent growth assays. Furthermore, AnxA6 co-immunoprecipitates with H-Ras in a Ca(2+)- and EGF-inducible manner and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy confirmed that AnxA6 is in close proximity of active (G12V), but not inactive (S17N) H-Ras. Thus, association of AnxA6 with H-Ras-containing protein complexes may contribute to regulate p120GAP/Ras assembly in EGFR-overexpressing and ER-negative breast cancer cells.
