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

Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) is a cytoplasmic protein responsible for detoxification, but the effect of the enzyme on cell biological events, including proliferation and migration, has never been reported. Thus, we evaluated the detoxification effect of in vitro-applied GST on cancer cell proliferation and migration. Assays for proliferation and migration of human breast cancer cells in the presence of GST were carried out. Binding of GST on the surface of the cancer cells was studied by flow cytometry. Detoxification through GST pathway was studied in the presence of shikonin. The effective dosage of GST in enhancement of cell proliferation was 10-50 nM, and the cell migration could be significantly enhanced after 6 hours in the presence of 2-50 nM GST. Therefore, overall cell proliferation and migration could be enhanced in the presence of 10nM or greater concentration of GST, and 15 μM shikonin-induced toxification of the cancer cells could be neutralized by 1.0 μM GST. Flow cytometry showed that GST directly bound to the surface of the cancer cells, and this was confirmed by fluorescence confocal microscopic observation. It is concluded that human class π-GST enhances proliferation and migration of human breast cancer cells by means of direct binding to the cell surface and maintaining cell viability by detoxification.
