miR-7 Reduces Breast Cancer Stem Cell Metastasis via Inhibiting RELA to Decrease ESAM Expression.
Article in Molecular therapy oncolytics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study aimed to present evidence that miR-7 inhibited the metastasis of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) and elucidated the mechanisms that have remained unknown. The samples collected from miR-7 agomir-treated, BCSC-driven tumors were subjected to a protein array to analyze the protein expression profiles. A dual-luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR were used to validate and evaluate the molecular expressions of interest in the collected breast cancer tissues and cell lines. miR-7 overexpression affecting metastasis of BCSCs was further evaluated in mice. The endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM) was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and in BCSC-driven xenografts. Results of the dual-luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR indicated that the miR-7 mimic reduced RELA expression by directly targeting the 3' UTR of RELA to inhibit ESAM expression in MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, the expression levels of RELA, CD44, and ESAM were significantly decreased in lentivirus (Lenti)-miR-7-BCSC-driven xenografts compared with the control xenografts, accompanied with an increase in E-cadherin and a decrease in vimentin expression, as well as reduction in tumor growth and metastasis to lungs. Our data demonstrated that miR-7 overexpression reduced the metastasis of BCSCs via inhibiting ESAM, suggesting that ESAM could be a potential target for breast cancer therapy.
