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 cause of death among the majority of endometrial cancer patients involves migration of cancer cells within the peritoneal cavity and subsequent implantation of cancer spheroids into neighbouring organs. It is, thereby, important to identify factors that mediate metastasis. Cell adhesion and migration are modified by the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) marker Sushi domain containing 2 (SUSD2), a type I transmembrane protein that participates in the orchestration of cell adhesion and migration through interaction with its partner Galactosidase-binding soluble-1 (LGALS1). MSCs have emerged as attractive targets in cancer therapy. Human endometrial adenocarcinoma (Ishikawa) cells were treated with TGFβ (10 ng/ml) for 72h. SUSD2, LGALS1 and MKI67 transcript levels were quantified using qRT-PCR. The proportion of SUSD2 positive (SUSD2+) cells and SMAD2/3 abundance were quantified by FACS and Western blotting, respectively. Senescent cells were identified with β-galactosidase staining; cell cycle and cell death were quantified using Propidium Iodide staining. Treatment of endometrial cancer cells (Ishikawa cells) with TGFβ (10 ng/ml) significantly decreased SUSD2 transcript levels and the proportion of SUSD2 positive cells. Silencing of SUSD2 using siRNA resulted in senescence and cell death of Ishikawa cells via activation of SMAD2/3. These findings suggest that SUSD2 counteracts senescence and cell death and is thus a potential chemotherapeutic target in human endometrial cancer.
