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

Homeobox B7 (HOXB7) has been found to be overexpressed in numerous types of human cancer. However, the role of HOXB7 in breast cancer remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of HOXB7 on the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells. Initially, reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were respectively employed to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of the HOXB7 gene in the MDA‑MB‑231 and MCF‑7 human breast cancer cell lines. Subsequently, small interfering RNAs designed to interfere with the expression of HOXB7 were used to knockdown the expression of HOXB7 in the MCF‑7 cell line, the effects of which on cell proliferation, the apoptotic rate and invasion capacity were measured using a Cell Counting kit‑8 assay, flow cytometry and transwell chambers, respectively. The results demonstrated that HOXB7 mRNA and protein were all overexpressed in MDA‑MB‑231 and MCF‑7 breast cancer cell lines. Furthermore, HOXB7‑S3 effectively inhibited the proliferation and invasion of MCF‑7 breast cancer cells. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that HOXB7 may be a potential therapeutic target in human breast cancer.
