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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveDysregulation of DNA polymerase iota (Pol ι) in breast cancer might contribute to the accumulation of genomic mutations and promotes breast cancer progression. In this study we explored the clinical relevance and biological function of Pol ι in breast cancer.

methodsqRT-PCR was used to determine the expression levels of Pol ι in 31 breast cancer tissues. Then the stable overexpression of Pol ι and knockdown of Pol ι breast cancer cell lines were constructed. Wound-healing assay and transwell assay were performed to evaluate cell migratory and invasiveness, respectively. Signaling pathway was analyzed by western blot.

resultsThe expression levels of Pol ι is overexpressed in breast cancer tissues and significantly higher in breast cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis compared to those without lymph node metastasis. Elevated Pol ι expression promoted migratory and invasiveness of breast cancer cells. Signaling pathway analysis indicated EGFR-ERK cascade works as a mediator of Pol ι-induced EMT of breast cancer cells.

conclusionsThese data demonstrate the underlying mechanism by which Pol ι promotes breast cancer progression, suggesting that Pol ι may be a potential therapeutic target against breast cancer.
