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

Luminal B breast cancers represent a fraction of oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumours associated with poor recurrence-free and disease-specific survival in all adjuvant systemic treatment categories including hormone therapy alone. Identification of specific signalling pathways driving luminal B biology is paramount to improve treatment. We have studied 100 luminal breast tumours by combined analysis of genome copy number aberrations and gene expression. We show that amplification of the ZNF703 gene, located in chromosomal region 8p12, preferentially occurs in luminal B tumours. We explored the functional role of ZNF703 in luminal B tumours by overexpressing ZNF703 in the MCF7 luminal cell line. Using mass spectrometry, we identified ZNF703 as a co-factor of a nuclear complex comprising DCAF7, PHB2 and NCOR2. ZNF703 expression results in the activation of stem cell-related gene expression leading to an increase in cancer stem cells. Moreover, we show that ZNF703 is implicated in the regulation of ER and E2F1 transcription factor. These findings point out the prominent role of ZNF703 in transcription modulation, stem cell regulation and luminal B oncogenesis.
