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

backgroundRNA binding proteins (RBPs) play an important role in regulating the metabolism of target RNAs. Aberrant expression of RBPs plays a vital role in the initiation and development of many cancers. The RBM family, which has the conserved RNA binding motif RNP1 and RNP2, shares the similar function in RNA processing and RBMS2 is a member of them. P21, also named CDKN1A, promotes cell cycle arrest and plays an important role in halting cell proliferation. In our study, we identified RBMS2 as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer. It inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer by positively regulating the stability of P21 mRNA in posttranscriptional way.

methodsTCGA was used to identify differentially expressed RBPs in breast cancer. The effect of RBMS2 on breast cancer proliferation was evaluated in vitro using CCK-8 assays, colony formation assays and cell-cycle assays and the in vivo effect was investigated using a mouse tumorigenicity model. The main pathway and genes regulated by RBMS2 was detected by RNA sequencing. The RNA immunoprecipitation combined with dual-luciferase reporter assay were conducted to testify the direct binding between RBMS2 and P21. Rescue assay was used to detect P21 as the main target of RBMS2.

resultsThe expression of RBMS2 was lower in breast cancer compared with normal tissues and was a favorable biomarker in breast cancer. RBMS2 inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer and P21 was the main target of RBMS2. RBMS2 stabilized the mRNA of P21 by directly binding to the AU-rich element of 3'-UTR region. Anti-proliferation activity induced by overexpression of RBMS2 was rescued by interfering with the expression of P21.

conclusionIn conclusion, RBMS2 acted as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer and positively regulated the expression of P21 by stabilizing its mRNA.
