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

In the highly metastatic rat mammary adenocarcinoma cell clone MTLn3, EGF induced increased adhesion to fibronectin while in the human epidermoid carcinoma cell line A431 EGF induced diminished adhesive properties. Flattening of cells with extensive formation of filopodia was observed in MTLn3 cells within 5 min of EGF addition, while in A431 cells EGF induced rounding up and only occasional formation of filopodia. Immunofluorescent analysis revealed extension of microtubules (MT) into the filopodia and Western blot analysis demonstrated an EGF-induced 2- to 3-fold increase in the amount of assembled tubulin in MTLn3 but not in A431 cells. In MTLn3, but only marginally in A431 cells, EGF treatment resulted in phosphorylation of a 280 kD cytoskeleton-associated protein, which was rapid and dose-dependent. These results suggest differential signal transduction pathway of cytoskeleton-associated EGFRs in highly metastatic MTLn3 as compared with A431 cells.
