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

backgroundETS variant 1 (ETV1) and E3 ubiquitin ligase constitutive photomorphogenetic 1 (COP1) have been proposed to be a pair of oncogene and tumor suppressor. However, the co-existing status of ETV1 and COP1 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and their predictive role in determining the patient's outcome are uncertain.

methodsWe examined the abundance of COP1 and ETV1 proteins and their clinicopathologic significance in archival TNBC tissues from 105 patients by tissue microarray. The potential function link between COP1 and ETV1 was observed in MDA-MB-231 cells by cell proliferation, invasion and migration assays.

resultsETV1 expression was higher in TNBC tissues compared to normal tissues, while COP1 was lower. ETV1 expression was negatively associated with COP1 abundance in TNBCs. Overexpression of COP1 led to significant reduction of ETV1 in MDA-MB-231 cells, and suppressed the cells migration and invasion. Rescue of ETV1 expression in the presence of COP1 notably regained the cells behaviors. ETV1-positive group was associated with a markedly poor overall survival. Meanwhile, we had observed favourable prognosis in COP1-positive cases for the first time. Multivariate analysis showed that COP1 together with ETV1 were independent risk factors in the prognosis of TNBC patients.

conclusionsCOP1 might be a tumor suppressor by negative regulating ETV1 in patients with TNBCs. COP1 and ETV1 are a pair of independent predictors of prognosis for TNBC cases. Thus, targeting them might be a potential strategy for personalized TNBC treatment.
