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

The role of non-SMC condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG) in breast cancer remains unclear. The present study used online databases, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, flow cytometry and western blotting to determine the expression levels, prognosis and potential molecular mechanisms underlying the role of NCAPG in breast cancer. The association between NCAPG expression and several different clinicopathological parameters in patients with breast cancer was determined, and the results revealed that NCAPG expression was negatively associated with estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor positive status, but was positively associated with HER2 positive status, Nottingham Prognostic Index score and Scarff-Bloom-Richardson grade status. Furthermore, upregulated expression levels of NCAPG resulted in a poor prognosis in patients with breast cancer. A total of 27 microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) were predicted to target NCAPG, among which four miRNAs (miR-101-3p, miR-195-5p, miR-214-3p and miR-944) were predicted to most likely regulate NCAPG expression in breast cancer. A total of 261 co-expressed genes of NCAPG were identified, including cell division cyclin 25 homolog C (CDC25C), and pathway enrichment analysis indicated that these co-expressed genes were significantly enriched in the p53 signaling pathway. CDC25C expression was downregulated in breast cancer and was associated with a poor prognosis. These findings suggested that upregulated NCAPG expression may be a prognostic biomarker of breast cancer.
