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

backgroundSialic acids are widely distributed in animal tissues, and aberrantly expressed in a variety of cancer types. High expression of sialic acid contributes to tumor aggressiveness by promoting cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Sialidases are responsible for removal of sialic acids from glycoproteins and glycolipids.

methodsN-glycomics of bladder cancer cells were detected by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Sialic acid modification in bladder cancer tissue was determined by lectin blot. The down-regulation of NEU1 in bladder cancer cells was determined by high resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HR LC-MS). The effects of sialidase NEU1 expression on proliferation and apoptosis of human bladder cancer cells were examined by western blot, RT-PCR, confocal imaging and flow cytometry. Moreover, the function of sialic acids on fibronectin-integrin α5β1 interaction were assayed by immunoprecipitation and ELISA. The importance of NEU1 in tumor formation in vivo was performed using BALB/c-nu mice. Expression of NEU1 in primary human bladder cancer tissue samples was estimated using bladder cancer tissue microarray.

results(1) Downregulation of NEU1 was primarily responsible for aberrant expression of sialic acids in bladder cancer cells. (2) Decreased NEU1 expression was correlated with bladder cancer progression. (3) NEU1 overexpression enhanced apoptosis and reduced proliferation of bladder cancer cells. (4) NEU1 disrupted FN-integrin α5β1 interaction and deactivated the Akt signaling pathway. (5) NEU1 significantly suppressed in vivo tumor formation in BALB/c-nu mice.

conclusionsOur data showed that NEU1 inhibited cancer cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and suppressed tumor formation both in vitro and in vivo, by disrupting interaction of FN and integrin β1 and inhibiting the Akt signaling pathway. Our observations indicate that NEU1 is an important modulator of the malignant properties of bladder cancer cells, and is a potential therapeutic target for prognosis and treatment of bladder cancer.
