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

objectiveRegulator of chromosome condensation 2 (RCC2) has been reported to be involved in the regulation of cell cleavage. This study investigated the effect of RCC2 expression on breast tumorigenesis.

methodsMCF-7 cells originating from estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer were transfected with anti-RCC2 siRNA or RCC2-expressing plasmids. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and cytokine production in the transfected cells were examined using the CCK-8 assay, wound healing assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. PCR array was used to investigate the tumorigenic pathway of RCC2 in MCF-7 cells transfected with the anti-RCC2 siRNA. MCF-7 cells were also transfected with lentivirus-containing anti-RCC2 short hairpin RNA and were injected into BALB/c nude mice to generate tumor-bearing mice. Tumor growth in the mouse model was examined using magnetic resonance imaging by diffusion-weighted imaging analysis.

resultsWestern blotting and immunohistochemistry detected significantly increased expression of RCC2 in ER + breast tumor tissues compared with breast fibroadenoma samples. Inhibiting RCC2 expression decreased cell migration and stimulated apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, while overexpressing RCC2 stimulated cell migration and inhibited apoptosis. The inhibition of RCC2 expression significantly decreased breast tumor growth and IL-6 levels in the tumor-bearing mice. PCR array demonstrated that inhibiting RCC2 expression significantly decreased the expression of IGF1 and TWIST1, two well-known tumor-enhancing genes, in MCF-7 cells; conversely, overexpressing RCC2 increased the expression levels of these two genes in the transfected cells. This result was verified in the mouse model following inhibition of RCC2 expression in MCF-7 cells. Additionally, estradiol-17

conclusionsOur results suggest that estrogen-induced RCC2 expression prompts IGF1, TWIST1, and IL-6 expression, stimulates cell migration, and inhibits apoptosis to contribute to ER + breast tumorigenesis.
