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

Long non‑coding RNA high expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (lncRNA HEIH) acts as an oncogene in multiple tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, melanoma and non‑small cell lung cancer. However, the role of HEIH in breast cancer remains unknown. The present study focused on the clinical significance and biological function of HEIH in breast cancer. Specifically, the expression levels of HEIH in breast cancer tissues and breast cancer cell lines were investigated. The results indicated high expression levels of HEIH in human breast cancer tissues, and its expression was positively associated with malignancy status and poor disease prognosis. High expression levels of HEIH were detected in the breast cancer cell lines, including MCF‑7, SK‑BR‑3, MDA‑MB‑231 and MDA‑MB‑468. These data were consistent with those derived from the in vivo study. Therefore, small interfering RNA was used to knockdown HEIH expression in order to explore whether HEIH exhibits an oncogenic function in breast cancer. Following HEIH knockdown, the proliferative and metastatic activity of MDA‑MB‑231 cells was decreased, whereas the induction of cell apoptosis was increased. These results suggested the oncogenic role of HEIH in breast cancer and the potential application of HEIH as an index of malignancy and poor prognosis in breast cancer.
