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

Originally identified as a molecular organizer of interacting proteins into tetraspanin-enriched microdomains, the tetraspanin CD151 has now been shown to be involved in tumour progression. Increasing evidence emerging from in vitro, in vivo and clinical analyses implicates this tetraspanin in supporting growth of various types of tumours at different levels. It affects both cell autonomous behavior and communication with neighboring cells and the microenvironment. CD151 regulates post-adhesion events, that is, cell spreading, migration and invasion including subsequent intravasation and formation of metastasis. Present on both neoplastic and endothelial cells, CD151 is engaged in promotion of tumour neovascularization. The molecular mechanism of CD151 in cancer is based on its ability to organize distribution and function of interacting proteins, ie, laminin-binding integrins (α3β1, α6β1 and α6β4), receptors for growth factors (HGFR, EGFR and TGF-β1R) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-7, MMP-2 and MMP-9), which indicates its importance in disease development. Results of clinical analyses of CD151 expression in different types of cancer and a large number of in vivo models demonstrate its impact on tumour growth and invasion and implicate CD151 as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic marker as well as a potential target for anti-cancer therapy.
