Transcriptomic analysis of human breast cancer cells reveals differentially expressed genes and related cellular functions and pathways in response to gold nanorods.

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.
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 leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Recent advances in nanomedicine have shown that gold nanorods (AuNRs), as multifunctional drug delivery and photothermal therapeutic agents, have potential for use in cancer therapy. However, the effect of AuNRs on the transcriptome of breast cancer cells is unknown. In the present study, cells of the triple-negative human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, which has high metastatic activity, were treated with AuNRs for transcriptomic analysis using RNA-seq technology. In total, 3126 genes were found to be up-regulated and 3558 genes were found to be down-regulated in AuNR-treated MDA-MB-231 cells. These differentially expressed genes presumably take part in multiple biological pathways, including glycolysis and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, and impact a variety of cellular functions, including chemoattractant activity. The distinct gene expression profile of MDA-MB-231 cells treated with AuNRs provides a foundation for further screening and validation of important genes involved in the interaction between AuNRs and MDA-MB-231 cells.
