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 ruthenium-based drug NAMI-A, characterised by its selectivity against solid tumour metastases, promotes TGF-β1-dependent fibrosis and the reduction of the release of MMPs in the primary tumour. The aim of the study was to examine the interaction of NAMI-A with TGF-β1 in the process of metastasis formation. NAMI-A (1) affects the secretion of TGF-β1 in metastatic MDA-MB-231 cells rather than in non-tumorigenic HBL-100 cells, (2) prevails over TGF-β1 with regard to the invasive capacity of the treated cells, and (3) contrasts integrin-dependent migration stimulated by TGF-β1. It, thus, appears that the effects of NAMI-A on cell invasion and migration are best summarised as an interference with TGF-β1 and a reduction of its activity in these events. At a molecular level, the similar activity of NAMI-A and TGF-β1 on RhoA GTPase supports its interaction with cell surface integrins while TGF-β1 can activate it by interaction with its TGFβR receptor. The inhibition of TGF-β1-induced migration of MDA-MB-231 cells by NAMI-A cannot simply be attributed to a modulation of the Smad2 and p38MAPK pathways. In conclusion, the effects of NAMI-A on the biological role of TGF-β1 in cancer metastasis are insufficient to attribute the responsibility for the anti-metastatic activity of the ruthenium-based drug to this target alone.
