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

N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-14 (GALNT14) is a member of acetylgalactosaminyltransferases family. We have shown that GALNT14 could promote breast cancer cell invasion. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. Here, using yeast two hybrid, we find that EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 2 (EFEMP2) interacts with GALNT14. Both in vitro and in vivo binding assays show that EFEMP2 is associated with GALNT14. Moreover, we find that GALNT14 mediates glycosylation of EFEMP2. EFEMP2 significantly increased the invasion ability of breast cancer cells including MCF-7 and MBA-MD-231 cells, and this phenomenon is suppressed by knockdown expression of GALNT14. In addition, the GALNT14-dependent O-glycosylation of EFEMP-2 regulates the stability of EFEMP-2 protein in breast cancer cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate a novel molecular mechanism underlying breast cancer invasion.
