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

Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed malignant tumors and the leading cause of death due to cancer in women around the world. A growing body of studies have documented that microRNA (miR)-135-5p is associated with the development and progression of BC. Considering that sekelsky mothers against dpp3 (SMAD3) plays a crucial role in transforming growth factor (TGF)-β/SMAD pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, it is critical to elucidate the crosstalk and underlying regulatory mechanisms between miR-135-5p and SMAD3 in controlling TGF-β-mediated EMT in BC metastasis. Our results revealed a reciprocal expression pattern between miR-135-5p and SMAD3 mRNA in BC tissues and cell lines. Moreover, miR-135-5p was decreased in BC tissues compared to adjacent breast tissues; more interesting, miR-135-5p mRNA levels (Tumor/Normal, T/N) was further decreased in BC patients with lymph node metastasis, while SMAD3 mRNA levels were increased. Gain- and loss-of-function assays indicated that overexpression of miR-135-5p inhibited TGF-β-mediated EMT and BC metastasis
