Role of Endothelin 1 on Proliferation and Migration of Human MCF-7 Cells.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to explore the role of endothelin 1 (ET-1) in human breast cancer proliferation and migration and antagonism of endothelin receptor A (ETAR) and endothelin receptor B (ETBR) by using the non-selective dual ETA/ETB receptor antagonist bosentan and determine its anti-proliferative, anti-metastatic, and apoptotic effects demonstrated by nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Caspase 3 and Caspase 9 expression on endothelin-induced proliferation of MCF-7 cell line in vitro. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 8,000 cells were seeded into e-plates 24 hours after the cells were incubated with or without 10-4 M BOS (1 hour before ET-1 treatment); 10-7, 10-8, and 10-9 M ET-1 for 1-4 days.
resultsWhether ET-1 is present or not in the tumor area, bosentan exerts anti-proliferative effect on breast cancer. However, ET-1 and bosentan group showed important inhibitory effect on tumor migration compared to bosentan alone, which can be attributed to increased activity of ET-1 axis in the presence of ET-1. The imbalance among the NF-kB, caspases, and VEGF, which are predictive factors of carcinogenesis significantly improved after bosentan administration.
conclusionOur study definitely demonstrated ET-1 and its critical role in cancer progression with apoptotic and anti-apoptotic pathways (NF-κB) and VEGF expression, and migration analyses were also performed. The second major finding was that bosentan inhibited ET-1-mediated effects on tumor proliferation and migration.
