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

N,N'-Dinitrosopiperazine (DNP) is a carcinogen for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), which shows organ specificity to nasopharyngeal epithelium. Herein, we demonstrate that DNP induces fiber formation of NPC cells (6-10B) and also increases invasion and motility of 6-10B cells. DNP-mediated NPC metastasis also was confirmed in nude mice. Importantly, DNP induced the expression of phosphorylated ezrin (phos-ezrin) at threonine 567 (Thr-567) dose- and time-dependently but had no effect on the total ezrin expression at these concentrations. Furthermore, DNP-induced phos-ezrin expression was dependent on increased Rho kinase and protein kinase C (PKC) activity. DNP may activate Rho kinase through binding to its pleckstrin homology and may activate PKC through promoting its translocation to the plasma membrane in vivo. DNP-induced phos-ezrin was associated with induction of fiber growth in 6-10B cells. However, DNP could not induce motility and invasion of NPC cells containing ezrin mutated at Thr-567. Similarly, DNP could not induce motility and invasion of the cells containing siRNAs against Rho or PKC. These results indicate that DNP induces ezrin phosphorylation at Thr-567, increases motility and invasion of cells, and promotes tumor metastasis. DNP may be involved in NPC metastasis through regulation of ezrin phosphorylation at Thr-567.
