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

backgroundMatricellular proteins comprising matrisome and adhesome are responsible for structure integrity and interactions between cells in the tumour microenvironment of breast cancer. Changes in the gene expression of matrisome and adhesome augment metastasis. Since inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is characterized by high metastatic behaviour. Herein, we compared the gene expression profile of matrisome and adhesome in non-IBC and IBC in fresh tissue and ex vivo patient-derived explants (PDEs) and we also compared the secretory inflammatory mediators of PDEs in non-IBC and IBC to identify secretory cytokines participate in cross-talk between cells via interactions with matrisome and adhisome.

methodsFifty patients (31 non-IBC and 19 IBC) were enrolled in the present study. To test their validation in clinical studies, PDEs were cultured as an ex vivo model. Gene expression and cytokine array were used to identify candidate genes and cytokines contributing to metastasis in the examined fresh tissues and PDEs. Bioinformatics analysis was applied on identified differentially expressed genes using GeneMANIA and Metascape gene annotation and analysis resource to identify pathways involved in IBC metastasis.

resultsNormal and cancer fresh tissues and PDEs of IBC were characterized by overexpression of CDH1 and MMP14 and downregulation of CTNNA1 and TIMP1 compared with non-IBC. The secretome of IBC cancer PDEs is characterized by significantly high expression of interleukin 6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (CCL2) compared with non-IBC.

conclusionGenes expressed by adhisome and matrisome play a significant role in IBC metastasis and should be considered novel target therapy.
