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

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor 2 (FGFR2) has been identified in genome-wide association studies to be associated with increased breast cancer risk; however, its mechanism of action remains unclear. Here we show that the two major FGFR2 alternatively spliced isoforms, FGFR2-IIIb and FGFR2-IIIc, interact with IκB kinase β and its downstream target, NF-κB. FGFR2 inhibits nuclear RelA/p65 NF-κB translocation and activity and reduces expression of dependent transcripts, including interleukin-6. These interactions result in diminished STAT3 phosphorylation and reduced breast cancer cell growth, motility, and invasiveness. FGFR2 also arrests the epithelial cell-to-mesenchymal cell transition (EMT), resulting in attenuated neoplastic growth in orthotopic xenografts of breast cancer cells. Our studies provide strong evidence for the protective effects of FGFR2 on tumor progression. We propose that FGFR2 serves as a scaffold for multiple components of the NF-κB signaling complex. Through these interactions, FGFR2 isoforms can respond to tissue-specific FGF signals to modulate epithelial cell-stromal cell communications in cancer progression.
