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

CD44, as a superficial cellular glycoprotein, is an essential factor in cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction. The CD44 expression level has been substantially up-regulated in breast cancer, and this upregulation facilitates tumor proliferation and angiogenesis. This study aims to evaluate the combination therapy of Jet Pei/CD44-specific-siRNA/doxorubicin in breast cancer MDA-MB468 cell line. The MTT assay, wound healing test, colony formation assay, DAPI staining, and flow cytometry were performed to investigate the tumoral cell viability, migration, clonogenesis, and apoptosis progression. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to demonstrate the CD44 expression level. Finally, the effect of CD44 silencing on the expression of VEGF, CXCR4, MMP9, and MiR-142-3p was measured. The combination of CD44-specific-siRNA with doxorubicin decreased tumoral metastasis, proliferation, invasion, and migration, and increased apoptosis in MDA-MB468 cells. In conclusions, CD44 can serve as a therapeutic target in breast cancer. Moreover, the combination therapy of CD44-specific-siRNA with doxorubicin can be a promising treatment for patients with breast cancer.
