Therapeutic monoclonal antibody targeting of neuronal pentraxin receptor to control metastasis in gastric cancer.
Article in Molecular cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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.
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
backgroundControlling metastasis is essential for improving the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC). Here, we aimed to identify a molecule required for GC metastasis and to investigate its potential utility as a target for the development of therapeutic antibodies (Abs).
methodsTranscriptome and bioinformatics analyses of human GC cell lines identified the neuronal pentraxin receptor (NPTXR) as a candidate molecule. NPTXR function was probed by modulating its expression in GC cells and assessing the effects on intracellular signaling and malignant behaviors in vitro and in mouse xenograft models. We also generated anti-NPTXR Abs and Nptxr
resultsNPTXR mRNA expression in clinical specimens was associated with disease progression and was significantly higher in tissues from GC patients with distant metastasis compared with those without. NPTXR regulated expression of genes involved in metastatic behaviors as well as activation of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR, FAK-JNK, and YAP signaling pathways. NPTXR silencing promoted caspase-mediated apoptosis and attenuated GC cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration, invasion, adhesion, stem cell-like properties, and resistance to 5-fluorouracil in vitro, and also inhibited the tumorigenicity of GC cells in vivo. Anti-NPTXR Abs inhibited GC peritoneal metastasis in mice. Nptxr
conclusionsNPTXR plays an essential role in controlling the malignant behavior of GC cells in vitro and in vivo. NPTXR-targeting Abs may thus have utility as novel diagnostic tools and/or treatment modalities for GC.
