Chk1 suppression leads to a reduction in the enhanced radiation-induced invasive capability on breast cancer cells.
Article in Journal of radiation research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Radiation therapy is generally effective for treating breast cancers. However, approximately 30% of patients with breast cancer experience occasional post-treatment local and distant metastasis. Low-dose (0.5 Gy) irradiation is a risk factor that promotes the invasiveness of breast cancers. Although an inhibitor of checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) suppresses the growth and motility of breast cancer cell lines, no study has investigated the effects of the combined use of a Chk1 inhibitor and radiation on cancer metastasis. Here, we addressed this question by treating the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 (in vitro) and mouse mammary tumor cell line 4 T1 (in vitro and in vivo) with γ-irradiation and the Chk1 inhibitor PD407824. Low-dose γ-irradiation promoted invasiveness, which was suppressed by PD407824. Comprehensive gene expression analysis revealed that low-dose γ-irradiation upregulated the mRNA and protein levels of S100A4, the both of which were downregulated by PD407824. We conclude that PD407824 suppresses the expression of S100A4. As the result, γ-irradiation-induced cell invasiveness were inhibited.
