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

backgroundLong non-coding RNAs play crucial roles in various biological activities and diseases. The role of long intergenic non-coding RNA01638 (linc01638) in breast cancer, especially in HER2-positive breast cancer, remains largely unknown.

objectiveTo investigate the effect of linc01638 on tumorigenesis in HER2-positive breast cancer.

methodsWe first used qRT-PCR to detect linc01638 expression in HER2-positive breast cancer cells and tissues. Then we analyzed the effects of linc01638 expression in HER2-positive breast cancer cells through cell apoptosis assay, cell proliferation assay, colony formation assay, and cell invasion assay. We conducted mouse xenograft model to further confirm the role of linc01638 in HER2-positive breast cancer. Moreover, we used Western blot and IHC analysis to access the effect of linc01638 on DNMTs, BRCA1 and PTEN expressions in transplanted tumors.

resultsLinc01638 was found to be remarkably overexpressed in HER2-positive breast cancer cells and tissues. Suppression of linc01638 enhanced cell apoptosis, as well as inhibited the growth and invasiveness of HER2-positive breast cancer cells in vitro and tumor progression and metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, inhibition of linc01638 by shRNA attenuated expression of DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b, and promoted expression of BRCA1 and PTEN in HER2-positive breast cancer cells and mouse xenograft models.

conclusionLinc01638 might be a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer.
