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

Tumor progression is characterized by loss of cell adhesion and increase of invasion and metastasis. E-cadherin, a cell adhesion molecule, is frequently downregulated and has been proposed as an important mediator in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumors. In this study, we investigated the expression of E-cadherin and its association with cancer invasion and prognosis in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Immunohistochemistry results demonstrated a statistically significant association between the positive metastasis status with low E-cadherin protein expression in human CCA tissues (P = 0.04). Statistical trends were identified for low E-cadherin level and shorter survival time (P = 0.08). Targeting the E-cadherin expression in CCA cells with siRNA caused upregulation of vimentin, a mesenchymal marker, and disappearance of the E-cadherin/β-catenin adhesion complex from cell membranes. Moreover, migration and invasion abilities of the cells were increased under this condition. These findings suggest that reduction of E-cadherin contributes to CCA progression by attenuating the strength of cellular adhesion, which affects motility as well as regulating the expression of EMT-related genes during CCA invasion and metastasis. Thus, E-cadherin can act as a central modulator of tumor cell phenotype and is a potential metastasis marker in CCA.
