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 RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key molecules in various cancers, yet their potential roles in the pathogenesis of breast cancer are not fully understood. Herein, using microarray analysis, we revealed that the lncRNA RACGAP1P, the pseudogene of Rac GTPase activating protein 1 (RACGAP1), was up-regulated in breast cancer tissues. Its high expression was confirmed in 25 pairs of breast cancer tissues and 8 breast cell lines by qRT-PCR. Subsequently, we found that RACGAP1P expression was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, TNM stage, and shorter survival time in 102 breast cancer patients. Then, in vitro and in vivo experiments were designed to investigate the biological function and regulatory mechanism of RACGAP1P in breast cancer cell lines. Overexpression of RACGAP1P in MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 breast cell lines increased their invasive ability and enhanced their mitochondrial fission. Conversely, inhibition of mitochondrial fission by Mdivi-1 could reduce the invasive ability of RACGAP1P-overexpressing cell lines. Furthermore, the promotion of mitochondrial fission by RACGAP1P depended on its competitive binding with miR-345-5p against its parental gene RACGAP1, leading to the activation of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). In conclusion, lncRNA RACGAP1P promotes breast cancer invasion and metastasis via miR-345-5p/RACGAP1 pathway-mediated mitochondrial fission.
