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

The up-regulation of EMT regulator Twist1 has been implicated in vasculogenic mimicry (VM) formation in human triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Twist1 targets the Claudin15 promoter in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Claudin family members are related with TNBC. However, the relationship between Claudin15 and VM formation is not clear. In this study, we first found that Claudin15 expression was frequently down-regulated in human TNBC, and Claudin15 down-regulation was significantly associated with VM and Twist1 nuclear expression. Claudin15 down-regulation correlated with shorter survival compared with high levels. Claudin15 silence significantly enhanced cell motility, invasiveness and VM formation in the non-TNBC MCF-7 cells. Conversely, an up-regulation of Claudin15 remarkably reduced TNBC MDA-MB-231 cell migration, invasion and VM formation. We also showed that down-regulation of Claudin15 was Twist1-dependent, and Twist1 repressed Claudin15 promoter activity. Furthermore, GeneChip analyses of mammary glands of Claudin15-deficient mice indicated that Claudin18 and Jun might be downstream factors of Twist1-Claudin15. Our results suggest that Twist1 induced VM through Claudin15 suppression in TNBC, and Twist1 inhibition of Claudin15 might involve Claudin18 and Jun expression.
