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

Resistance to tamoxifen remains a prominent conundrum in the therapy of hormone-sensitive breast cancer. Also, the molecular underpinnings leading to tamoxifen resistance remain unclear. In the present study, we utilized the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify that SOX11 might exert a pivotal function in conferring tamoxifen resistance of breast cancer. SOX11 was found to be markedly upregulated at both the messenger RNA and protein levels in established MCF-7-Tam-R cells compared to the parental counterparts. Moreover, SOX11 was able to activate the transcription of slug via binding to its promoter, resulting in promoting the progress of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and suppressing the expression of ESR1. Downregulating SOX11 expression can restore the sensitivity to 4-hydroxytamoxifen in MCF-7-Tam-R cells. Survival analysis from large sample datasets indicated that SOX11 was closely related to poorer survival in patients with breast cancer. These findings suggest a novel feature of SOX11 in contributing to tamoxifen resistance. Hence, targeting SOX11 could be a potential therapeutic strategy to tackle tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer.
