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

Laeverin (LVRN) is a cell-surface immunoregulatory factor that is specifically expressed in embryo-derived extravillous trophoblast, which invades maternal spiral arteries without immune rejection during human placentation. Here, it is found that various epithelial cancer cell lines upregulated LVRN expression in association with the expression of POU5F1 after spheroid formation under floating conditions. Immunohistochemically, LVRN expression is detected in the lesions of vascular, lymphatic, and peritoneal invasion of ovarian, cervical, endometrial, breast, and lung cancers. LVRN-positive circulating tumor cells are also identified in the blood of uterine cervical and endometrial cancers, showing that LVRN expression is induced in cancer cells in the distant metastatic phase. Monomethylauristatin E-conjugated anti-LVRN antibody induced cell death in ovarian cancer-derived cell lines in the liquid phase in vitro and inhibited their peritoneal dissemination in nude mice in vivo. These findings indicate that LVRN is a unique and promising cell-surface target molecule for liquid-phase metastasizing cancer cells.
