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

Tumor cells undergoing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) lose cell surface adhesion molecules and gain invasive and metastatic properties. EMT is a plastic process and tumor cells may shift between different epithelial-mesenchymal states during metastasis. However, how this is regulated is not fully understood. Syndecan-1 (SDC1) is the major cell surface proteoglycan in epithelial cells and has been shown to regulate carcinoma progression and EMT. Recently, it was discovered that SDC1 translocates into the cell nucleus in certain tumor cells. Nuclear SDC1 inhibits cell proliferation, but whether nuclear SDC1 contributes to the regulation of EMT is not clear. Here, we report that loss of nuclear SDC1 is associated with cellular elongation and an E-cadherin-to-N-cadherin switch during TGF-β1-induced EMT in human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. Further studies showed that nuclear translocation of SDC1 contributed to the repression of mesenchymal and invasive properties of human B6FS fibrosarcoma cells. The results demonstrate that nuclear translocation contributes to the capacity of SDC1 to regulate epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity in human tumor cells and opens up to mechanistic studies to elucidate the mechanisms involved.
