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

Activation of oncogenes by promoter hypomethylation plays an important role in tumorigenesis. Zinc finger protein 57 (ZFP57), a member of KRAB-ZFPs, could maintain DNA methylation in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), although its role and underlying mechanisms in breast cancer are not well understood. In this study, we found that ZFP57 had low expression in breast cancer, and overexpression of ZFP57 could inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. MEST was validated as the direct target gene of ZFP57 and MEST may be down-regulated by ZFP57 through conserving DNA methylation. Furthermore, overexpression of MEST could restore the tumour-suppressed and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway inactivated effects of ZFP57. ZFP57-MEST and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway axis are involved in breast tumorigenesis, which may represent a potential diagnostic biomarker, and provide a new insight into a novel therapeutic strategy for breast cancer patients.
