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

Sine oculis homeobox homolog 4 (SIX4), a member of the SIX family, play important role in the development and construction of vertebrate tissues and organs. There is very little known about the function of SIX4 in cancer cells. Herein, we investigated whether SIX4 promote cancer metastasis in addition to its direct role in breast cancer cells. Our study showed that the expression of SIX4 was profoundly increased in breast cancer tissues, and the high expression of SIX4 correlated strongly with distant metastasis and poor prognosis. Functional experiments demonstrated that SIX4 obviously promoted the cell migration and invasion of breast cancer cells, and up-regulated the expression of EMT mesenchymal marker, down-regulated the epithelial molecules by Snai1 induction
