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

Zinc finger and BTB domain containing 7A (ZBTB7A) is aberrantly expressed in breast cancer, but the involvement of ZBTB7A in breast cancer remains controversial. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a pleiotropic cytokine which promotes breast cancer metastasis. ZBTB7A and TGF-β are important factors in tumor development. However, the association between ZBTB7A and TGF-β in breast cancer remains unknown. The results of the present study revealed that TGF-β1 induced the expression of ZBTB7A via the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-protein kinase B signaling pathway in human breast cancer cells, and ZBTB7A inhibited the expression of TGF-β1 through indirectly suppressing the promoter activity of TGF-β1. Furthermore, no significant correlation between the expression of ZBTB7A and TGF-β1 were identified in breast cancer tissues using tissue microarray assay and human cancer genomics analysis. These results have identified a negative feedback loop between ZBTB7A and TGF-β signaling, suggesting ZBTB7A as a potential modulator of breast cancer metastasis. Thus, the results of the present study suggested that ZBTB7A is a potential prognostic biomarker for breast cancer.
