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

introductionAt present, drug resistance remains a major obstacle for breast cancer (BCa) patients who receive tamoxifen (TAM) chemotherapy. In this study, we aimed to investigate the functional role of long non-coding RNA BLACAT1 in the acquisition of TAM resistance in BCa.

methodsTAM-resistant BCa cells were derived by exposure to 1 μM of TAM for 6 months. The expression levels of BLACAT1 and miR-503 were detected by RT-qPCR analysis. Chemosensitivity of BCa cells to TAM was measured by MTT assay. Apoptosis of BCa cells was detected by flow cytometric analysis, and the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot analysis. The direct binding relation between BLACAT1 and miR-503 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay.

resultsOur findings showed that BLACAT1 was significantly upregulated in TAM-resistant BCa cells (MCF-7/TR and T47D/TR), and BLACAT1 knockdown markedly reduced the TAM resistance in these cells. Importantly, we observed that BLACAT1 might function as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-503 in MCF-7/TR and T47D/TR cells, thereby increasing the expression of oncogenic Bcl-2 protein. Rescue experiments showed that miR-503 inhibition partly blocked the inhibitory effect of BLACAT1 knockdown on TAM resistance of MCF-7/TR and T47D/TR cells.

conclusionTo conclude, this study revealed that overexpressed BLACAT1 induces TAM resistance in human BCa partly by regulating miR-503/Bcl-2 axis, potentially benefiting BCa treatment in the future.
