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

We report herein that expression of alpha 2 beta 1 integrin increased human erythroleukemia K562 transfectant (KX2C2) cell movement after extravasation into liver parenchyma. In contrast, a previous study demonstrated that alpha 2 beta 1 expression conferred a stationary phenotype to human rhabdomyosarcoma RD transfectant (RDX2C2) cells after extravasation into the liver. We therefore assessed the adhesive and migratory function of alpha 2 beta 1 on KX2C2 and RDX2C2 cells using a alpha 2 beta 1-specific stimulatory monoclonal antibody (mAb), JBS2, and a blocking mAb, BHA2.1. In comparison with RDX2C2 cells, KX2C2 were only weakly adherent to collagen and laminin. JBS2 stimulated alpha 2 beta 1-mediated interaction of KX2C2 cells with both collagen and laminin resulting in increases in cell movement on both matrix proteins. In the presence of Mn2+, JBS2-stimulated adhesion on collagen beyond an optimal level for cell movement. In comparison, an increase in RDX2C2 cell movement on collagen required a reduction in its adhesive strength provided by the blocking mAb BHA2.1. Consistent with these in vitro findings, in vivo videomicroscopy revealed that alpha 2 beta 1-mediated postextravasation cell movement of KX2C2 cells in the liver tissue could also be stimulated by JBS2. Thus, results demonstrate that alpha 2 beta 1 expression can modulate postextravasation cell movement by conferring either a stationary or motile phenotype to different cell types. These findings may be related to the differing metastatic activities of different tumor cell types.
