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

Due to a lack of hormone receptors, current treatment strategies for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are limited with frequent disease recurrence and metastasis. Recent findings have suggested that aberrant methylation of histone H3 lysine 79 residue (H3K79me) by the histone methyltransferase disruptor of telomeric silencing 1-like (DOT1L) is a potential therapeutic target for TNBC clinical management. Therefore, we developed DOT1L inhibitors as potential antitumor agents against TNBC cells. We reveal that a synthetic half-selenopsammaplin A analog 9l (subsequently known as 9l) exhibited inhibitory activity against DOT1L-mediated H3K79 methylation, and showed antitumor activity in TNBC cells. The analog 9l also significantly inhibited TNBC invasion and migration via the modulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, including N-cadherin and vimentin downregulation and E-cadherin upregulation. In an MDA-MB-231/Luc-implanted orthotopic mouse metastasis model, treatment with 9l effectively inhibited tumor growth and lung metastasis via DOT1L regulatory activity and EMT processes. Taken together, these findings highlight the potential of 9l as a novel therapeutic candidate for treating metastatic TNBC via DOT1L modulation.
