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

objectiveWe aimed to explore the potential application of circulating microRNA-451 (miR-451) in serum in predicting the resistance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in breast cancer (BC).

methodsEighty-two BC patients who underwent NACT were recruited in our study, including 41 NACT-sensitive patients (NACT-sensitive group) and 41 NACT-resistant patients (NACT-resistant group). Additionally, 60 healthy subjects were selected as normal controls. Epirubicin-resistant MCF-7 BC cell line (MCF-7/EPI) and docetaxel-resistant MCF-7 BC cell line (MCF-7/DOC) were cultured in our study. MTT assay was applied to calculate the survival rates of MCF-7 cells, MCF-7/DOC cells and MCF-7/EPI cells. The expression levels of miR-451 in normal controls, NACT-sensitive group, NACT-resistant group, MCF-7 cells, MCF-7/DOC cells and MCF-7/EPI cells were measured by qRT-PCR method.

resultsThe proliferation rates of both the MCF-7/DOC and MCF-7/EPI cells were significantly restrained at the drug concentration of 10 ng/ml, 50 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml and 200 ng/ml. However, the proliferation rates of MCF-7/DOC and MCF-7/EPI cells both increased significantly at the drug concentration of 500ng/ml. Furthermore, the IC50 of MCF-7/DOC cells was 23.603 ng/ml and the IC50 of MCF-7/EPI cells was 3.209 ng/ml. The relative expression of miR-451 was significantly lower in both the NACT-resistant group and the NACT-sensitive group than the normal control group. We also found that the relative expression level of miR-451 was significantly lower in the NACT-resistant group than that in the NACT-sensitive group. The expression of miR-451 in the MCF-7/EPI and the MCF-7/DOC cell lines was significantly lower than that in the MCF-7 cell lines.

conclusionWe supported the view that the relative expression level of miR-451 was lower in the NACT-resistant BC patients, suggesting the circulating miR-451 may have a functional significance in predicting the resistance to NACT in BC patients. We laid a foundation for further research on the resistance to NACT in BC treatment.
