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

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) regulates protein folding, post-translational modifications, lipid synthesis, and calcium signaling to attenuate the accumulation of misfolded proteins causing ER stress and maintains cellular homeostasis. The tumor microenvironment is rich in soluble cytokines, chemokines, growth, and angiogenic factors and can drive the ER's abnormal functioning in healthy cells. Cancer cells adapt well to the tumor microenvironment induced ER stress. We identified that the inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) cells abundantly express osteoprotegerin (OPG) and their tumor microenvironment is rich in OPG protein. OPG also called osteoclast differentiation factor/osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF) is a soluble decoy receptor for receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL). Employing mass spectrometry analysis, we identified a set of ER chaperones associated with OPG in IBC cell lysates (SUM149PT, SUM1315MO2) compared to healthy human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC). Proximity ligation assay (PLA) and immunoprecipitation assay validated the interaction between OPG and ER chaperone and master regulator of unfolded protein response (UPR) GRP78/BiP (glucose-regulated protein/Binding immunoglobulin protein). We detected remarkably high gene expression of CCAAT enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP), inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1α), protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI), PKR-like ER kinase (PERK), activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), X-box binding protein 1 (XBP-1) and growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein (GADD34) in SUM149PT and SUM190PT cells when compared to HMEC. Similarly, tissue sections of human IBC expressed high levels of ER stress proteins. We evaluated cell death and apoptosis upon Salubrinal and phenylbutyrate treatment in healthy and IBC cells by caspase-3 activity and cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) protein assay. IBC (SUM149PT and SUM190PT) cells were chemosensitive to Salubrinal treatment, possibly
