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

Epithelial morphogenesis is a common feature in various organs and contributes to functional formation. However, the molecular mechanisms behind epithelial morphogenesis remain largely unknown. Mammary gland is an excellent model system to investigate the molecular mechanisms of epithelial morphogenesis. In this study, we found that cysteine dioxygenase (CDO), a key enzyme in cysteine oxidative metabolism, was involved in mammary epithelial morphogenesis. CDO knockout (KO) females exhibited severe defects in mammary branching morphogenesis and ductal elongation, resulting in poor lactation. CDO contributes to the luminal epithelial cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis mainly through its downstream product cysteine sulfinic acid (CSA). Exogenous supplementation of CSA not only rescued the defects in CDO KO mouse but also enhanced ductal growth in wild-type mouse. It suggests that CDO regulates luminal epithelial differentiation and regeneration via CSA and consequently contributes to mammary development, which raises important implications for epithelial morphogenesis and pathogenesis of breast cancer.
