Chemokine CCL2/MCP-1 negatively regulates metastasis in a highly bone marrow-metastatic mouse breast cancer model.
Article in Clinical & experimental metastasis, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Bone is the most frequent site of breast cancer metastasis, and once such metastasis occurs, complete remission is extremely difficult to achieve. In an effort to define the mechanisms underlying metastatic spread of breast cancer to bone, we previously developed and characterized the highly bone metastatic 4T1E/M3 mouse breast cancer cells. We found that following injection into mice, 4T1E/M3 cells exhibited greater bone metastasis and greater in vitro anchorage-independent growth and cell migration than their parental cells (4T1E). We also found that expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is crucially involved in these metastatic activities of 4T1E/M3 cells. In the present study, our analysis of gene and protein expression revealed that production of chemokine CCL2 (MCP-1) is dramatically reduced in 4T1E/M3 cells, and that restoration of CCL2 expression in 4T1E/M3 cells diminishes their metastasis to bone and lung. Overexpression of CCL2 in 4T1E/M3 cells significantly reduced not only in vitro anchorage-independent cell growth and cell migration, but also mRNA and cell surface expression of ICAM-1. Conversely, knocking down CCL2 in 4T1E parental cells augmented their metastatic spread to spine and lung. The expression of ICAM-1 was also upregulated in 4T1E-derived CCL2 knockdown cells. Taken together, these results suggest that CCL2 expression may negatively regulate breast cancer metastasis to bone marrow and lung in our model and that expression of ICAM-1 plays a crucial role in that process.
