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

X-inactivation-specific transcript (XIST) is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that functions as an indicator of various human tumors, including those of breast cancer. This study was conducted to characterize a novel regulatory network involving XIST in breast cancer cells. The mRNAs of XIST, miR-125b-5p, and NOD-like receptor family CARD domain containing 5 (NLRC5) in breast cancer cells and tissues were analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were separately detected via cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry, and Transwell assays. The relationships between XIST, miR-125b-5p, and NLRC5 were predicted and then confirmed using the dual-luciferase reporter assay. NLRC5 protein expression was quantitated using western blot assays. XIST was found to be overexpressed in breast cancer tissues and cells, which was accompanied by miR-125b-5p downregulation and NLRC5 upregulation. XIST knockdown significantly repressed cell proliferation, anti-apoptosis, migration, and invasion activities in breast cancer cells, and the loss of miR-125b-5p had a similar effect. XIST was shown to sponge miR-125b-5p, which in turn targeted NLRC5. NLRC5, a breast cancer promotor, is negatively regulated by miR-125b-5p. Moreover, the downregulation of NLRC5 induced by the loss of XIST was significantly reversed by miR-125b-5p knockdown. In conclusion, the lncRNA XIST promotes the malignancy of breast cancer cells partly by competitively binding to miR-125b-5p, which then led to increased NLRC5 expression. Our study suggests that targeting XIST may be a possible treatment for breast cancer.
