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

Carcinoma cells become more motile and invasive via downmodulation of E-cadherin. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression is associated with tumor invasion and metastasis. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the expression of COX-2 and E-cadherin in a bladder cancer cell line and human bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCCs). Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment for 5637 bladder cancer cells increased COX-2 expression, slightly induced Slug expression, and decreased E-cadherin expression. Ectopic expression of COX-2 or prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) treatment for 5637 cells reduced E-cadherin expression. This finding was confirmed by the result that knockdown of COX-2 expression or indomethacin administration increased the expression of E-cadherin. When compared with cells' motility in serum-free medium, the treatment of PMA and PGE(2) increased cell motility, and indomethacin treatment slightly decreased cell motility. In the tissues of bladder TCCs, COX-2 expression was inversely correlated with membranous E-cadherin expression and positively correlated with nuclear beta-catenin expression. The expression of COX-2 and nuclear beta-catenin expression was significantly higher in TCCs of high grade and invasive growth than in TCCs of low grade and noninvasive growth. In contrast, membranous E-cadherin expression was more decreased in tumors of high grade and invasive growth. In addition, nuclear beta-catenin expression was significantly related to tumor recurrence. We suggest that COX-2 pathway reduces membranous E-cadherin expression in bladder TCCs and their expression pattern may provide important information in predicting the clinical behavior of bladder TCCs.
