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

backgroundCXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and its ligand stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α, also known as CXCL12) have important roles in promoting tumour growth and metastasis. Therefore, targeting CXCR4 could be a promising strategy for treatment of human cancer.

methodsTo achieve this goal, we developed a highly purified recombination polypeptide (GST-NT21MP), which is a synthetic 21-mer peptide antagonist of CXCR4 (NT21MP) derived from the viral macrophage inflammatory protein II by fermentation technology, affinity chromatography and fast protein liquid chromatography. In this study, we used multiple methods such as MTT assay, FACS, invasion assay, RT-PCR and western blot to explore the efficacy and mechanism by which GST-NT21MP inhibits cell growth, migration and invasion of breast cancer in vitro and in vivo.

resultsWe found that blockade of CXCR4 pathway by GST-NT21MP decreased SDF-1-induced cell growth, adhesion and migration capacities in breast cancer cells. Moreover, GST-NT21MP significantly retarded pulmonary metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, GST-NT21MP-mediated antitumour activity was found to be associated with reduced phosphorylated Src, Akt, FAK and ERK1/2 as well as decreased Bcl-2.

conclusionsOur results suggest that GST-NT21MP could be a potential anticancer agent for the treatment of breast cancer.
