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

Recent studies have shown that aberrant expression of tight junction proteins (TJP) contributes to malignant potential of various cancers. In the present study, we investigated the expression of junctional adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A), one of the transmembrane TJP, in uterine cervical adenocarcinoma and the significance of its expression for malignancy. Immunohistochemistry on human surgical specimens showed that JAM-A was aberrantly expressed in neoplastic regions including adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). Knockout of JAM-A significantly suppressed cell proliferation and colony-forming and migration abilities. We also showed that an antibody specific to an extracellular region of JAM-A reduced cell proliferation ability and that loss of JAM-A increased drug sensitivity of cervical adenocarcinoma cells. Based on a comprehensive proteome analysis, we found that poliovirus receptor (PVR/CD155) was regulated by JAM-A and formed a physical interaction with JAM-A. In human surgical specimens, PVR/CD155 expression was significantly correlated with some clinicopathological features and prognosis of cervical adenocarcinoma. Interestingly, most of the PVR/CD155-positive cases expressed a high level of JAM-A, and patients with the expression pattern of PVR/CD155 positive/JAM-A high had significantly shorter periods of relapse-free survival (P = .00964) and overall survival (P = .0204) than those for the other patients. Our observations suggest that aberrant expression of JAM-A promotes malignancy of uterine cervical adenocarcinoma by regulation of PVR/CD155, and JAM-A is therefore a potential therapeutic target for this malignancy.
