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

Controversy has arisen as to the role of transforming growth factor-β-induced protein (TGFBI) in the regulation of tumor metastasis. Using lung and breast cancer cell lines (H522 and MCF-7, respectively), we established that TGFBI induced cell adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins by activating adhesion-associated signaling and subsequent structure reformation, ultimately leading to cells less motile; whereas TGFBI reduced abilities of colony formation in soft agar, penetration through matrix gel, and activation of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9. Furthermore, injection of TGFBI-expressing cells into immuno-deficient mice resulted in a significant reduction in tumor metastasis in vivo. Taken together, these data suggest that TGFBI moderates the metastatic potential of cancer cells.
