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

BACKGROUND/

aimWe examined the gene expression changes of breast cancer cells spontaneously undergoing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reverse process mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) and the role of exosomes in these transitions. MATERIALS AND

methodsHighly invasive mesenchymal-like breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231 (basal cells), EMT and MET variants, were characterized by microarray gene expression profiling, immunocytochemistry and chemo-sensitivity.

resultsSpontaneously disseminated cells were anoikis resistant, exhibited a dissociative, EMT-like phenotype and underwent MET when reseeded in cell-free plates. MET was inhibited by exosomes secreted by basal cells. Chemo-sensitivity to doxorubicin, vincristine and paclitaxel decreased in the order EMT<MET<basal. Phenotypic plasticity arose with differential expression of metastasis and stemness associated genes (LGR5, FZD10, DTX1, ErbB3, FTH1 and DLL4) and pathways (DNA replication and repair, ABC transporter, Hedgehog, Notch and metabolic pathways).

conclusionThis is an appropriate model for studying EMT/MET transitions, drug targets and the role of exosomes in breast cancer dissemination.
