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 present study examined the role of reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK) promoter hypermethylation as a causative factor in metastasis of osteosarcoma. Using human pathological samples, it is demonstrated that RECK, a cysteine protease that reversibly regulates expression of matrix metalloproteases like matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), is transcriptionally inhibited in osteosarcoma, especially metastatic variants. This result comes from its promoter hypermethylation, as evaluated in the present study by methylation-specific PCR reaction. The expression of RECK was also significantly diminished in the metastatic variants of osteosarcoma. This downregulation of RECK in advanced grades of osteosarcoma and metastatic grades was also associated with the increased expression of invadosome-specific markers like MMP9, phospho-FAK, and integrins, suggesting the complex contributions of RECK in the prevention of metastasis and its downregulation as a causative factor in osteosarcoma metastasis.
