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

Despite multi-modality treatments, prognosis for advanced stage neuroblastoma (NB) remains challenging with residual long-term disabilities in survivors. Advanced stage NB is metastatic, which is a principal cause of cancer-related deaths. We presently document a primary role of MDA-9 in NB progression and define the molecular mechanisms by which MDA-9 promotes transformed phenotypes. NB cell lines and clinical samples display elevated MDA-9 expression and bioinformatic analysis supports an association between elevated MDA-9 and bone metastasis and poor prognosis. Genetic (shmda-9, mda-9 siRNA) or pharmacological (small molecule inhibitor of protein-protein interactions; PDZ1i) blockade of MDA-9 decreases NB migration, invasion, and metastasis. Blocking mda-9 expression or disrupting MDA-9 partner protein interactions downregulates integrin α6 and β4, diminishing Src activity and suppressing Rho-Rac-Cdc42 activity. These signaling changes inhibit cofilin and matrix metalloproteinases reducing in vitro and in vivo NB cell migration. Overexpression of integrin α6 and β4 rescues the invasion phenotype and increases Src activity, supporting integrins as essential regulators of MDA-9-mediated NB migration and invasion. We identify MDA-9 as a key contributor to NB pathogenesis and show that genetic or pharmacological inhibition suppresses NB pathogenesis by an integrin-mediated Src-disruption pathway.
