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

Reelin is a secreted, signaling protein associated with neuronal cell positioning and migration. Recently, reelin was found to be epigenetically silenced in gastric and pancreatic cancers in which down-regulation was associated with increased migratory ability and reduced survival. Here we analyzed reelin expression by immunohistochemistry in 17 normal breast tissue samples from reduction mammoplasties and in two independent tissue microarrays of 136 and more than 2000 breast cancer biopsy samples, respectively. Results were analyzed with regard to clinical parameters, including BRE (Bloom, Richardson, Elston) grade, nodal status, estrogen receptor and HER2 status, and overall survival. Reelin was expressed in the luminal epithelium and myoepithelium of the normal human breast but not in cancerous breasts. Loss of reelin protein expression correlated significantly with decreased survival (P=0.01) and positive lymph node status (P<0.001). By measuring reelin expression and promoter methylation status in 39 primary breast tumors, as well as in breast cancer-derived cell lines before and after decitabine treatment, we established that reelin expression levels correlated inversely with promoter methylation status, whereas demethylation increased reelin mRNA expression in vitro. Reelin overexpression in MDA-MB231 cells, as well as incubation with recombinant reelin, suppressed cell migration, invadopodia formation, and invasiveness in vitro. We conclude that reelin may play an important role in controlling invasiveness and metastatic potential of breast cancer cells and that its expression is controlled by promoter methylation.
