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

It is well documented that S100A4 is upregulated in a large amount of invasive tumors and plays a pivotal role in tumor invasion and metastasis. However, the precise role and mechanism S100A4 exerts in the invasion and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) have not been fully elucidated to date. Our data demonstrated that S100A4 was overexpressed in human ESCC tissues, especially in ESCC with poor differentiation, deep invasion and lymph node metastasis. Subsequently, the knockdown of S100A4 by RNAi in ESCC cell line (EC-1) could reduce cell invasion, metastasis and proliferation ability in vitro. Most importantly, S100A4 regulated MMP-2 positively and E-cadherin negatively in vivo and in vitro to some extent. Our results suggest that S100A4 is an important factor in the invasion, metastasis and proliferation of ESCC and may control invasion and metastasis at least in part through the regulation of MMP-2 and E-cadherin activity. S100A4 may serve as a biomarker for progression of ESCC and a potential molecular target for biotherapy of ESCC.
