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

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that exerts various pathophysiological functions through binding to its receptor family (S1PRs). Since first report of the breast cancer (BCA) promoting function by S1P production (through the function of sphingosine kinases) and S1P/S1PR signaling, their antagonists have never been successfully progress to clinics after three decades. Taking advantage of bioinformatics linking to gene expression to disease prognosis, we examined the impact of associated genes in BCA patients. We found high gene expressions involved in S1P anabolism suppressed disease progression of patients who are basal cell type BCA or receiving adjuvant therapy. In addition, S1PRs expression also suppressed disease progress of multiple categories of BCA patient progression. This result is contradictory to tumor promoter role of S1P/S1PRs which revealed in the literature. Further examination by directly adding S1P in BCA cells found a cell growth suppression function, which act via the expression of S1PR1. In conclusion, our study is the first evidence claiming a survival benefit function of S1P/S1PR signaling in BCA patients, which might explain the obstacle of relative antagonist apply in clinics.
