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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly heterogeneous disease with multiple, distinct molecular subtypes that exhibit unique transcriptional programs and clinical progression trajectories. Despite knowledge of the molecular heterogeneity of the disease, most patients are limited to generic, indiscriminate treatment options: cytotoxic chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. To identify new intervention targets in TNBC, we used large-scale, loss-of-function screening to identify molecular vulnerabilities among different oncogenomic backgrounds. This strategy returned salt inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) as essential for TNBC survival. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of SIK2 leads to increased autophagic flux in both normal-immortalized and tumor-derived cell lines. However, this activity causes cell death selectively in breast cancer cells and is biased toward the claudin-low subtype. Depletion of ATG5, which is essential for autophagic vesicle formation, rescued the loss of viability following SIK2 inhibition. Importantly, we find that SIK2 is essential for TNBC tumor growth in vivo Taken together, these findings indicate that claudin-low tumor cells rely on SIK2 to restrain maladaptive autophagic activation. Inhibition of SIK2 therefore presents itself as an intervention opportunity to reactivate this tumor suppressor mechanism.
