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

backgroundCancer metastasis is the major reason for cancer-related deaths, but the mechanism of cancer metastasis still unclear. Adrenomedullin (ADM), a peptide hormone, functions as a local paracrine and autocrine mediator with multiple biological activities, such as angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and anti-inflammation. However, the expression and potential function of ADM in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remain unclear.

methodsReal-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were performed to examine the expression of ADM in TNBC tissues and cell lines. A total of 458 TNBC tissue samples and adjacent nontumor tissue samples were detected by immunochemistry to determine the correlation between ADM expression and clinicopathological characteristics. We determined the role and mechanistic pathways of ADM in tumor metastasis in cell lines.

resultsOur data showed that ADM expression was noticeably decreased in TNBC samples and cell lines. Low expression levels correlate with an increased risk of recurrence and metastasis. Furthermore, low ADM expression was associated with poor prognosis and was an independent marker for TNBC. In vitro, ADM may decrease cancer cell invasion, which is likely the result of its effect on the cancer cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that ADM is a valuable biomarker for TNBC prognosis and an anti-metastasis candidate therapeutic target in triple-negative breast cancer.
