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

The high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein is an abundant non-histone component of chromatin well known for its two DNA binding domains, HMG box A and HMG box B. The main characteristics of the HMGB1 protein as an 'architectural' factor are its ability to recognize and bind with high affinity to distorted DNA and its ability to induce kinks in linear DNA fragments. The HMGB1 protein has been correlated to cancer progression. An elevated expression of HMGB1 occurred in certain types of primary tumor, including melanoma and colon, prostate, pancreatic and breast cancers, and in the majority of cases HMGB1 is associated with invasion and metastasis. The main signaling pathway is activated through the interaction of HMGB1 with its Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products (RAGE). Certain data indicate that an elevated expression of RAGE and HMGB1 is not always a prerequisite of poor prognosis of tumor development. The cellular localization of the ligand/receptor pair also requires consideration. The data concerning the expression of HMGB1 protein and its receptor RAGE in various tissues and tumor cells reflect the overall production of the proteins. However, they do not refer to their cellular localization and there is no direct evidence for the formation of a stable complex between them. In the present study, we investigated the subcellular distribution of HMGB1 and its receptor RAGE in various rat organs compared to Guerin ascites tumor cells. In the normal tissues the proteins exist in their soluble form, whereas in the tumor cells they are insoluble and membrane-bound. HMGB1 forms a stable complex with RAGE only in the protein extract derived from the cancer cells predominantly in the membrane fraction.
