CLDN6 Suppresses Migration and Invasion of MCF-7 and SKBR-3 Breast Cancer Cells by Blocking the SMAD/Snail/MMP-2/9 Axis.

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
The study examined the mechanisms of action of signal protein claudin 6 (CLDN6) on migration and invasion of breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and SKBR-3. To this end, the signal proteins SMAD were blocked with their inhibitor SB431542, the genes CLDN6 and SNAIL were knocked down with short hairpin RNAs, and MMP2 and MMP9 were inhibited with TIMP-1. Expressions of MMP2 and MMP9 mRNAs were evaluated by reverse transcription PCR, Expressions of MMP-2, MMP-9, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin were examined by Western blotting. Migration and invasion were analyzed by scratch test and Matrigel invasion assay. SB431542 inhibited expression of MMP2 and MMP9 in both cell lines. Single use of SB431542 inhibited expression of MMP-2/MMP-9 and corresponding mRNAs, but subsequent silencing of CLDN6 gene reversed this effect. TIMP-1 reversed down-regulation of E-cadherin, upregulation of N-cadherin and vimentin, facilitation of migration and invasion evoked by CLDN6 knocking down. Silencing of SNAIL gene inhibited migration and invasion, upregulated the expression of E-cadherin, and down-regulated expression of MMP2, MMP 9, N-cadherin, and vimentin. Thus, CLDN6 suppresses the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, migration, and invasion via blocking SMAD/Snail/MMP-2/9 signaling pathway in MCF-7 and SKBR-3 cancer cell lines.
