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

Estrogen receptor (ER)-α has long been a potential target in ER-α-positive breast cancer therapeutics. In this study, we integrated ER-α-related bioinformatic data at different levels to systematically explore the mechanistic and therapeutic implications of ER-α. Firstly, we identified ER-α-interacting proteins and target genes of ER-α-regulating microRNAs (miRNAs), and analyzed their functional gene ontology (GO) annotations of those ER-α-associated proteins. In addition, we predicted ten consensus miRNAs that could target ER-α, and screened candidate traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compounds that might hit diverse conformations of ER-α ligand binding domain (LBD). These findings may help to uncover the mechanistic implications of ER-α in breast cancer at a systematic level, and provide clues of miRNAs- and small molecule modulators- based strategies for future ER-α-positive breast cancer therapeutics.
