Human melanoma inhibitory protein binds to the FN12-14 Hep II domain of fibronectin.

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
The heparin binding site (Hep II) of fibronectin plays a major role in tumor cell metastasis. Its interaction with heparan sulfate proteoglycans occurs in a variety of physiological processes including focal adhesion and migration. The melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) is an important protein that is functionally involved in melanoma development, progression, and tumor cell invasion. After its secretion by malignant melanoma cells, MIA interacts with fibronectin and thereby actively facilitates focal cell detachment from surrounding structures and strongly promotes tumor cell invasion and the formation of metastases. In this report, the authors have determined the molecular basis of the interaction of MIA with the Hep II domain of fibronectin based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic binding assays. The authors have identified the type III modules 12 to 14 of fibronectin's Hep II as the major MIA binding sites. These results now provide a new target protein-protein binding interface for the discovery of novel antimetastatic agents against malignant melanoma in the future.
