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 quantitatively evaluate the effects of integrins alpha1beta1, alpha2beta1, alpha3beta1, alpha4beta1, alpha5beta1, and alpha6beta1 on the chemotaxis of hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) cell line SMMC-7721 to laminin (LN). A modified dual-micropipette system was used to dynamically and quantitatively monitor the formation of pseudopod protrusion of HCC cells toward LN in the presence or absence of specific antibodies against integrins alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, alpha6, and beta1. Additionally, the expression levels of different integrin subunits on the surface of the cells were determined via flow cytometry analysis. In response to equal concentrations of LN in both micropipettes, HCC cells form symmetrical pseudopod protrusions on both sides. Addition of antibodies against alpha3, alpha6, or beta1 into one micropipette leads to significant reduction of pseudopod formation on that side, while antibodies against alpha1, alpha2, alpha4, and alpha5 do not affect the symmetrical formation of pseudopods in either micropipette. The percentages of HCC cells positive for expression of integrins alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, alpha6, and beta1 were 95.07, 23.17, 95.55, 2.47, 34, 14.29, and 95.78%, respectively. Integrins alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1 are important cell surface receptors that mediate the chemotaxis of HCC cells toward LN.
