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

backgroundThe mechanism underlying breast cancer stem cell (BCSCs) characteristics remains to be fully elucidated. Accumulating evidence implies that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a pivotal role in regulating BCSCs stemness.

methodsLncRNA LUCAT1 expression was assessed in breast cancer tissues (n = 151 cases) by in situ hybridization. Sphere-formation assay and colony formation assay were used to detect cell self-renewal and proliferation, respectively. RNA immunoprecipitation, RNA pull down and luciferase reporter assays were used to identify LUCAT1 and TCF7L2 as the direct target of miR-5582-3p. The activity of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway was analyzed by TOP/FOP-Flash reporter assays, western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

resultsThis study found LUCAT1 expression was related to tumor size (p = 0.015), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.002) and TNM staging (p < 0.001). High LUCAT1 expression indicated a shorter overall survival (p = 0.006) and disease-free survival (p = 0.011). Furthermore, LUCAT1 was more expressed in BCSCs than in breast cancer cells (BCCs) by lncRNA microarray chips. LUCAT1 up-regulation promoted proliferation of BCCs, while LUCAT1 down-regulation inhibited self-renewal of BCSCs. MiR-5582-3p was directly bound to LUCAT1 and TCF7L2 and negatively regulated their expression. LUCAT1 affected Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

conclusionsLUCAT1 might be a significant biomarker to evaluate prognosis in breast cancer. LUCAT1 increased stem-like properties of BCCs and stemness of BCSCs by competitively binding miR-5582-3p with TCF7L2 and enhancing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The LUCAT1/miR-5582-3p/TCF7L2 axis provides insights for regulatory mechanism of stemness, and new strategies for clinical practice.
