Induction of matrix metalloproteinase 9 expression in breast carcinoma cells by a soluble factor from fibroblasts.
Article in Clinical & experimental metastasis, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Tumor-stromal interactions appear to play an important role in the induction of metalloproteinase expression in malignant tumors. We describe a tissue culture system in which expression of MMP-9 (gelatinase B or the 92 kDa type IV collagenase/gelatinase) was induced by co-cultivation of fibroblasts with breast cancer cell lines. While neither the breast cancer cells nor the normal rat embryo fibroblasts made MMP-9 alone in culture, human MMP-9 was made in the co-cultures. The MMP-9 was secreted in a latent form. The induction occurred at least in part through increases in the MMP-9 mRNA levels in the breast cancer cells. These increases did not appear to require protein synthesis. Conditioned medium from the fibroblasts could duplicate the induction of MMP-9 in the breast cancer cell lines. The active factor in the medium was inactivated by heat or by trypsin suggesting that it was a protein. This protein was in the size range of 30-100 kDa. Thus, fibroblasts could secrete a factor which was able to regulate the expression of MMP-9 in breast cancer cells.
