SKA3 Promotes Cell Growth in Breast Cancer by Inhibiting PLK-1 Protein Degradation.
Article in Technology in cancer research & treatment. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Breast cancer (Bca) remains the most common form of malignancy affecting females in China, leading to significant reductions in the mental and physical health of those with this condition. While spindle and kinetochore associated complex subunit 3 (SKA3) is known to be linked with cervical cancer progression, whether it is similarly associated with Bca progression remains unknown. Using shRNA, we specifically knocked down the expression of SKA3 in Bca cell lines and then assessed the resultant changes in cell proliferation using CCK-8 and colony formation assays. In addition, we used western blotting to quantify the expression levels of relevant proteins in these cells, and we assessed the interaction between SKA3 and polo-like kinase-1 (PLK-1) via co-immunoprecipitation.In this study, we observed elevated SKA3 expression in Bca tissues and cell lines. When we knocked down SKA3 expression in Bca cells, we were able to determine that it functions in an oncogenic manner so as to promote the growth and proliferation of these cells
