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

purposeTo investigate the role of integrin beta3 in invasive features of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells, by comparing different metastatic subclones.

methodsIn the present study, two cell subclones, termed as S1 and S21, which possessed high and low metastatic potential, respectively, were isolated and established from human ovarian cancer parental cell line SKOV3 by the limited dilution method. The expressions of integrin alphav, integrin alphavbeta3, integrin beta3, E-cadherin, FAK and ILK in the two cell subclones were compared by means of real-time RT-PCR or flow cytometry. Subsequently, S21 was transfected with siRNA for integrin beta3 and the effects of transfection were examined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, colony formation assay, Matrigel invasion assay and cell migration assay.

resultsThe expressions of integrin alphavbeta3, integrin beta3 and E-cadherin were markedly down-regulated in S1; however, there were no significant differences in the expressions of integrin alphav, FAK and ILK beta. Of note, more than 70% knockdown of integrin beta3 expression was obtained by siRNA technique. The integrin beta3-siRNA-transfected cells showed significant increases in cell proliferation, cell migration and invasive activity in contrast with the mock-transfected cells. The expressions of integrin alphavbeta3 and E-cadherin were lower in the integrin beta3-siRNA-transfected cells compared to the mock control.

conclusionIntegrin beta3, like E-cadherin, may be also a suppressor gene down-regulating invasive features of ovarian cancer cells in SKOV3 cell subclones.
