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

Increased levels of calprotectin subunits S100A8 and S100A9 have been detected in human cancers. Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer, and its treatment is challenging because of its brain metastasis. OCLN encodes occluding, which plays a major role in the formation and regulation of tight junctions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the methylation status of the OCLN promoter and its expression in A-375 melanoma cells treated with or without various concentrations of S100A9 for 24, 48, and 72 h. Total RNA was extracted, and synthesized cDNA was assessed by performing real-time PCR. MSP-PCR was performed after treatment with bisultfie. Recombinant S100A9 inhibited the proliferation of the A-375 cell line and the expression of the OCLN gene was downregulated in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Results of MSP-PCR showed that the OCLN gene promoter in a human melanoma cell line (A-375) was semimethylated.
