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

As the major cell surface receptors for the extracellular matrix, integrins regulate adhesion and migration and have been shown to drive tumor growth and progression. Previous studies showed that mice lacking integrin α3β1 in the epidermis fail to form skin tumors during two-step chemical tumorigenesis, indicating a protumorigenic role for α3β1. Furthermore, genetic ablation of α3β1 in established skin tumors caused their rapid regression, indicating an essential role in the maintenance of tumor growth. In this study, analysis of immortalized keratinocyte lines and their conditioned media support a role for α3β1 in regulating the expression of several extracellular proteases of the keratinocyte secretome, namely BMP-1, matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-9, and MMP-3. Moreover, immunofluorescence revealed reduced levels of each protease in α3β1-deficient tumors, and RNA in situ hybridization showed that their expression was correspondingly reduced in α3β1-deficient tumor cells in vivo. Bioinformatic analysis confirmed that the expression of
