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

Altered choline phospholipid metabolism is a hallmark of cancer, leading to malignant choline metabolite profiles consisting of low glycerophosphocholine (GPC) and high phosphocholine (PC) in human breast cancers. Glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase (GPC-PDE) catalyzes the degradation of GPC to free choline and glycerol-3-phosphate. The gene(s) encoding for the GPC-PDE(s) responsible for GPC degradation in breast cancers have not yet been identified. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that the GPC-PDE encoded by glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain containing 5 (GDPD5) is associated with breast cancer malignancy. Two human breast cancer cell lines (n = 8 and n = 10) and primary human breast tumor samples (n = 19) were studied with combined MRS and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to investigate several isoforms of GDPD expression with respect to choline phospholipid metabolite levels. Of the five GDPDs tested, GDPD5 was found to be significantly overexpressed in highly malignant estrogen receptor negative (ER(-)) compared with weakly malignant estrogen receptor positive (ER(+)) human breast cancer cells (p = 0.027) and breast tumors from patients (p = 0.015). GDPD5 showed significantly positive correlations with PC (p < 0.001), total choline (tCho) (p = 0.007) and PC/GPC (p < 0.001) levels in human breast tumors. GDPD5 showed a trend towards a negative correlation with GPC levels (p = 0.130). Human breast cancers with malignant choline metabolite profiles consisting of low GPC and high PC levels highly co-expressed GDPD5, choline kinase alpha (CHKA) and phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D1 (PLD1), whereas cancers containing high GPC and relatively low PC levels displayed low co-expression of GDPD5, CHKA and PLD1. GDPD5, CHKA and PLD1 were significantly overexpressed in highly malignant ER(-) tumors in our patient cohort. Our study identified GDPD5 as a GPC-PDE that probably participates in the regulation of choline phospholipid metabolism in breast cancer, which possibly occurs in cooperation with CHKA and PLD1.
