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 chemokine receptor CXCR7 is regarded as a scavenger receptor for CXCL12, and induces numerous key steps in tumor growth and metastasis. However, the exact molecular mechanism of CXCR7 regulation in breast tumor angiogenesis remains unknown. In the present study, the function of CXCR7 in breast tumors was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The breast cancer MDA‑MB‑231 cell line was used. Pharmacological inhibition of CXCR7 by CCX771 reduced breast tumor invasion, adhesion and metastasis. Furthermore, CXCR7 was essential for the tube formation of HUVECs in vitro, and for blood vessel formation in a Matrigel plug assay in vivo. In addition, vascular endothelial growth factor expression was also decreased in CCX771‑treated MDA‑MB‑231 cells, indicating that CCX771 regulates tumor angiogenesis. The present results indicated that CXCR7 regulated breast cancer metastasis at multiple stages; additional understanding of CXCR7 in tumor environments may develop anti‑metastatic therapy.
