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

introductionIn the surgical world of breast cancer reconstruction, fat grafting is commonly viewed as an oncogenic risk. Scientific studies add confusion, given the stark lack of clinical evidence suggesting pro-oncogenic links. Typically, classic migration assays (e.g., Boyden chamber) between adipose-derived stem cells and breast cancer cells define this cell relationship as pro-oncogenic.

objectiveWe sought to develop a new migration model which better explains existing clinical data.

methodsSilicon chambers were used to seed isolated populations of cells simultaneously in culture dish. Once cells had adhered, chambers were removed and cells were allowed to follow natural trophic cues. Multiple permutations of MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, HS-27, and ASCs were engineered. Cells were stained with MitoTracker for fluorescent visualization. A human cytokine array (RayBiotech) was performed on the media of migrating assays. Cellular tropism and blot intensity were quantitatively measured in Image J.

resultsAn in vitro model was successfully constructed where ASCs reproducibly and freely migrated. Cytokine arrays reveal higher levels of IL-6 and CCL2 in the media of Boyden chambers containing ASCs and MDA-MB-231, compared to the novel assay, comprised of the same cell numbers, types, and incubation times.

conclusionThese data collectively show for the first time the attraction of ASCs to malignant breast cancer cells; a phenomenon which many ASC studies infer. The cytokine profile of the novel system described is less oncogenic than the commonly described Boyden chamber. These data integrate better into the clinical data, which fail to link cancer recurrence with fat grafting.
