MeCP2 inhibits proliferation and migration of breast cancer via suppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is an important epigenetic regulator for normal neuronal maturation and brain glial cell function. Additionally, MeCP2 is also involved in a variety of cancers, such as breast, prostate, lung, liver and colorectal. However, whether MeCP2 contributes to the progression of breast cancer remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the role of MeCP2 in cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. We found that knockdown of MeCP2 inhibited expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers in breast cancer cell lines. In conclusion, our study suggests that MeCP2 inhibits proliferation and invasion through suppression of the EMT pathway in breast cancer.
