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

HSPC159 is a novel human galectin-related protein that has been shown to be involved in carcinogenesis. Little is known about HSPC159 expression and function in breast cancer. Herein we showed that HSPC159 was aberrantly expressed in both breast cancer cell lines and tumor tissues and that its expression was associated with poor prognosis of breast cancer patients. Using gain- and loss-of-function methods we found that HSPC159 enhanced breast cancer cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, HSPC159 was found to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the F-actin polymerization process of breast cancer cells. Moreover, HSPC159 promoted proliferation, migration and invasion through activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in breast cancer. In conclusion, our findings showed that HSPC159 contributed to breast cancer progression through the PI3K/Akt pathway and might serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of breast cancer.
