Neuronatin is a modifier of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer incidence and outcome.

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.
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
purposeUnderstanding the molecular mediators of breast cancer survival is critical for accurate disease prognosis and improving therapies. Here, we identified Neuronatin (NNAT) as a novel antiproliferative modifier of estrogen receptor-alpha (ER+) breast cancer. EXPERIMENTAL
designGenomic regions harboring breast cancer modifiers were identified by congenic mapping in a rat model of carcinogen-induced mammary cancer. Tumors from susceptible and resistant congenics were analyzed by RNAseq to identify candidate genes. Candidates were prioritized by correlation with outcome, using a consensus of three breast cancer patient cohorts. NNAT was transgenically expressed in ER+ breast cancer lines (T47D and ZR75), followed by transcriptomic and phenotypic characterization.
resultsWe identified a region on rat chromosome 3 (142-178 Mb) that modified mammary tumor incidence. RNAseq of the mammary tumors narrowed the candidate list to three differentially expressed genes: NNAT, SLC35C2, and FAM210B. NNAT mRNA and protein also correlated with survival in human breast cancer patients. Quantitative immunohistochemistry of NNAT protein revealed an inverse correlation with survival in a univariate analysis of patients with invasive ER+ breast cancer (training cohort: n = 444, HR = 0.62, p = 0.031; validation cohort: n = 430, HR = 0.48, p = 0.004). NNAT also held up as an independent predictor of survival after multivariable adjustment (HR = 0.64, p = 0.038). NNAT significantly reduced proliferation and migration of ER+ breast cancer cells, which coincided with altered expression of multiple related pathways.
conclusionsCollectively, these data implicate NNAT as a novel mediator of cell proliferation and migration, which correlates with decreased tumorigenic potential and prolonged patient survival.
