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

backgroundRecently, the biggest challenge in the treatment of breast cancer is the metastasis of breast cancer cells. Multiple myeloma SET protein (MMSET), a histone lysine methyltransferase, overexpressed in various human cancers, was reported to be associated with carcinogenesis of human cancers.

methodsExpression of MMSET in breast cancer cell lines and tissues was quantified by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Immunohistochemistry was employed to analyze MMSET expression in 163 clinicopathologically characterized breast cancer cases. Cell functional assays such as MTT assay, colony formation, BrdU assay, flow cytometry, wound healing, Transwell assay, and 3D culture were used to investigate the effect of MMSET in the development and metastasis of human breast cancer. Effects of MMSET on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway were further studied by using Western blotting analysis.

resultsOur results showed that MMSET expression was markedly overexpressed in breast cancer cells and clinical specimens and was significantly correlated with patients' clinicopatho-logic characteristics and prognosis. Moreover, silencing endogenous MMSET significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and metastasis of breast cancer cells through inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

conclusionThis study found that the downregulated expression of MMSET impaired proliferation and metastasis of human breast cancer through inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Notably, our results indicated that MMSET could be a useful biomarker for the prognosis of breast cancer.
