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

Surgery followed by a chemotherapy agent is the first-line treatment for breast cancer patients. Nevertheless, new targets are required for women with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in order to improve the treatment of this aggressive cancer subtype. Multiple pro-inflammatory molecules including lipid-based substances such as sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) promote cancer progression. In this preclinical study, we aim to investigate the efficacy of Fingolimod, an inhibitor of S1P / S1P receptors axis, already approved as an immunomodulator in multiple sclerosis. The impact of Fingolimod was analyzed using in vitro 2D and 3D cell survival analysis and in vivo orthotopic graft models, using mouse and human TNBC cells implanted in immunocompetent or immunodeficient mice, respectively. Resection of the tumor primary mass was also performed to mimic the clinical standard of care. We demonstrated that Fingolimod repressed tumor cell survival in vitro. We also showed in preclinical mouse TNBC models that Fingolimod repressed tumor progression and liver and spleen metastases without apparent adverse effects on the animals. Our data indicate that Fingolimod induces tumor cells apoptosis and thereby represses tumor progression. Globally, our data suggest that Fingolimod merits further evaluation as a potential therapeutic opportunity for TNBC.
