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

Runx2, a master regulator of osteogenesis, is abnormally expressed in advanced breast cancer. Here we addressed Runx2 contribution to breast cancer cell growth and metastasis. We found that CD44 and Runx2 were both elevated in breast cancer tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissues in breast cancer patients. Runx2 expression was significantly correlated with tumor TNM stage, metastasis and poor prognosis. We then screened several breast cancer cell lines and found that Runx2 expression level was positively related to the malignant level of the cells screened. Knockdown of Runx2 in high metastatic cell line MDA-MB-231 could inhibit breast cancer cell vitality, invasion and clone formation capacity, while overexpression of Runx2 in low metastatic cell line MCF-7 could increase those malignant behaviors. The mechanism might be due to Runx2 positively regulating cancer stem cell properties, as CD44 expression level and CD44
