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

Lysine-specific demethylase 5A (KDM5A), an enzyme that removes activating H3K4 di- and trimethylation marks, plays critical roles in controlling transcription and chromatin architecture, yet its biological functions largely remain uncharacterized, particularly in the context of human cancer. In the present study, we found that the KDM5A gene was significantly amplified and over-expressed in various human tumors, including breast cancer. Reducing the expression of KDM5A by shRNA knockdown inhibited proliferation of KDM5A-amplified breast cancer cells. More importantly, we demonstrated that KDM5A over-expression was associated with breast cancer drug resistance. Furthermore, knockdown of KDM5A gene expression altered H3K4 methylation and induced upregulation of CDK inhibitors as well as genes mediating apoptotic cell death. Taken together, our study strongly links KDM5A histone demethylase activity to breast cancer proliferation and drug resistance, and suggests KDM5A is a potential target for breast cancer therapy.
