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

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been proposed as a biochemical marker of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The present study focused on the implications of HA and CD44 interaction in the proliferation and invasiveness of MPM. The proliferation and invasive activity was evaluated in two human mesothelioma cell lines, ACC-MESO-1 and K921MSO, by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and the transwell chamber model. The knockdown of CD44 gene expression was accomplished by transfection of the cells with small interfering RNA. Flow cytometry revealed that both the ACC-MESO-1 and K921MSO cell lines highly expressed CD44. Treatment with HA enhanced the proliferation in both mesothelioma cell lines in comparison to cells without HA treatment. The treatment with HA (25 μg/ml) also significantly upregulated the invasion of both types of cells. The silencing of CD44 significantly abrogated the effect of HA treatment on the proliferation of ACC-MESO-1 cells and significantly suppressed the proliferation of K921MSO cells. HA-CD44 binding is important for the migration and proliferation of mesothelioma cells. Therefore, the HA-CD44 interaction is a potentially useful therapeutic target in MPM.
