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

Development of chemoresistance remains a major hurdle for triple negative breast cancer treatment. Previous studies suggest that CD44+/CD24- cells, subpopulation of cancer stem cells with self-renewing and tumor-initiating capacities, are partly responsible for chemoresistance and therapeutic failure of triple negative breast cancer. Therefore, novel agents that target cancer stem cells (CSCs) may improve the clinical outcome. KIF11 (kinesin family member 11), overexpressed in many cancer cells, is a molecular motor protein that plays essential role in mitosis. In this study, we assess its role in docetaxel resistant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We found that the expression of KIF11 was significantly increased in CD44+/CD24- subpopulation of docetaxel resistant TNBC cells. Knockdown of KIF11 resulted in a significant decrease in the percentage of CSCs and mammosphere formation. KIF11 knockdown also inhibits cell growth and induces cell cycle G2/M arrest followed by cell mitosis and apoptosis. Further docetaxel resistant TNBC xenograft models demonstrated that KIF11 inhibitor exerts growth inhibitory effect
