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

Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG1) was identified to be overexpressed in breast cancer, and to be associated with the development of breast cancer. In the present study, AEG1 was identified as highly expressed in the MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and SK-BR-3 breast cancer cell lines and was detected in the MCF-10A normal breast epithelial cell line. The present study established an AEG1-knockdown MCF-7 cell line to investigate the expression status of certain cancer-associated proteins. Western blotting demonstrated that AEG1 may affect cancer cell proliferation and invasion via activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, a hypothesis that has been supported by cell function tests. The results of the present study demonstrated that when AEG1 was significantly overexpressed in breast cancer cells it promoted cell proliferation and invasion via activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Therefore, AEG1 may serve as a novel therapeutic target in breast cancer.
