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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive cancer, and rapidly progresses following relapse in advanced stage. This cancer is usually associated with worse overall survival, so the carcinogenesis of TNBC needs to be further explored to find more effective therapies. In this study, we intended to identify the roles of YY1-mediated long non-coding RNA Kcnq1ot1 in TNBC. First, the paired samples of tumor tissues and adjacent tissues were collected to determine YY1, lncRNA Kcnq1ot1, and PTEN expression using RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis followed by analysis of the relationship between them and patient survival. The results revealed that YY1 and lncRNA Kcnq1ot1 were upregulated in TNBC tissues, and high expression of YY1 and lncRNA Kcnq1ot1 was associated with poor patient survival. Then, ChIP and MSP assays were employed to explore interactions between YY1, lncRNA Kcnq1ot1, and PTEN gene. We obtained that YY1 upregulated lncRNA Kcnq1ot1, which mediated PTEN methylation via DNMT1, thus decreasing PTEN expression. Afterward, TNBC cells were examined for their viability using functional assays with the results displaying that overexpression of YY1 facilitated TNBC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Mechanistically, upregulated YY1 repressed tumor growth by inhibiting PTEN via upregulation of lncRNA Kcnq1ot1. Mouse models were also constructed, and the above effects of YY1, lncRNA Kcnq1ot1, and PTEN on TNBC were also established in vivo. Taken together, this study demonstrates that the silencing of YY1 exerted tumor-suppressive effects on TNBC by modulating lncRNA Kcnq1ot1/DNMT1/PTEN pathway, in support of further investigation into anti-tumor therapy for TNBC.
