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

purposelncRNAs have recently been identified as key regulators of basic biological processes as well as the pathogenesis of various diseases. Previous studies have shown that lncRNA MNX1-AS1 promotes cell migration and invasion in ovarian cancer; however, its role in regulating breast cancer-associated biological processes remains unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe obtained paired specimens of breast cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues by modified radical mastectomy from 36 patients, in addition to four breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, BT-549 and MCF-7). RNA was isolated from these tissues and cell lines and subsequently subjected to quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. This was followed by bisulfite deep sequencing. The cells were also transfected with siRNA against MNX1-AS1. The cells were then subject to cell proliferation, Transwell migration and invasion assays. Finally, Western blotting analysis was conducted to determine expression levels of MNX1, 5-cadherin, Snail and Slug.

resultsOur results show that MNX1-AS1 expression was significantly higher in breast cancer tissues than adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, knockdown/overexpression of MNX1-AS1 inhibits/promotes proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. MNX1-AS1 and its natural sense transcript MNX1 are expressed synergistically in breast tumor tissues. Our results suggest that MNX1-AS1 is a functional oncogene that induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition, in addition to activating AKT/mTOR pathway and its natural sense transcript MNX1 in breast cancer cells.

conclusionOur data indicate that MNX1-AS1 can serve as a novel therapeutic target in breast cancer.
