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

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer induced death in women. Tamoxifen is an endocrine therapy which is administered to 70% of all breast cancer patients with estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) expression. Despite the initial response, most patients eventually acquire resistance to the drug. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs which have the ability to post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Although the role of a few miRNAs has been described in tamoxifen resistance, little is known about how concerted actions of miRNAs targeting biological networks contribute to its resistance. In this study, we identified that miR-155 is frequently up-regulated in breast cancer with tamoxifen resistance. Ectopic expression of miR-155 induces cell survival and resistance to TAM, whereas inhibition of miR-155 causes cells to apoptosis and enhances TAM sensitivity. Further, we identified SOCS6 as a new direct target of miR-155. Sustained overexpression of miR-155 resulted in repression of SOCS6 protein and mRNA levels, and knockdown of miR-155 increased SOCS6 expression. Introduction of SOCS6 cDNA lacking the 3'-UTR abrogated miR-155-induced cell survival and chemoresistance. Finally, it was verified that SOCS6 or inhibition of STAT3 could inhibit miR-155 STAT3 activation and cell proliferation. In conclusion, our study reveals a molecular link between miR-155 and SOCS6-STAT3 and presents an evidence that miR-155 is a critical therapeutic target in breast cancer.
