Stathmin is involved in the cooperative effect of Zoledronic acid and gefitinib on bone homing breast cancer cells in vitro.

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.
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
Zoledronic acid (Zol) is the most potent inhibitor of bone resorption among the bisphosphonates and is commonly used for inhibiting bone metastasis. However, it remains unclear whether Zol provides a survival benefit. Recent findings indicate that epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling is an important mediator of bone metastasis. Thus, we examined the combined effects of Zol and an EGF receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, gefitinib, on the proliferation and invasion of a bone-seeking clone and the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Combined treatment with Zol and gefitinib synergistically inhibited both invasion and cell proliferation of the bone-seeking clone, but not those of the MDA-MB-231 cells. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry demonstrated that stathmin was down-regulated during these cooperative effects. Stathmin is a signal transduction regulatory factor which plays an important role in cell division and malignant tumor development. Our data suggest that stathmin may be a promising target molecule for blocking bone metastasis of breast cancer.
