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

The histone H3 lysine 4-specific methyltransferase SETD1A is associated with transcription activation and is considered a key epigenetic regulator that modulates the cell cycle and metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer cells. However, the clinical role of SETD1A in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cells remains unclear. Here, we examined whether SETD1A is a potential target for ERα-positive breast cancer therapy. SETD1A expression was upregulated in breast tumor tissue compared to that in normal breast tissue. Moreover, ER-target genes regulated by SETD1A were particularly enriched in cell cycle and cancer pathways. SETD1A is involved in histone H3K4 methylation, subsequent recruitment of ERα, and the establishment of accessible chromatin structure at the enhancer region of ERα target genes. In addition to ERα target genes, other cell survival genes were also downregulated by SETD1A depletion in MCF-7 cells, leading to significant decrease in cell proliferation and migration, and spontaneous induction of apoptosis. We also found that miR-1915-3p functioned as a novel regulator of SETD1A expression in breast cells. Importantly, the growth of tamoxifen-resistant MCF-7 cells was effectively repressed by SETD1A knockdown. These results indicate that SETD1A may serve as a molecular target and prognostic indicator in ERα-positive breast cancer.
