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

backgroundCdc20 is a crucial activator of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) and is known to be essential in mitosis regulation. Abnormally high expression of Cdc20 has been reported in several malignancies. We aimed to study the Cdc20 expression in human breast cancer tissues, focusing specifically on Cdc20 in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC).

methodsThe expression of mitotic regulators mRNA in three TNBC cell lines or three other breast cancer cell lines was determined by the RNA-sequencing database. 14,713 human breast cancer patient samples included in Breast Cancer-GenExminer v4.5 were used to analyze whether cell division cycle 20 (Cdc20) expression was related to TNBC. To find whether Cdc20 expression impacted prognosis in TNBC, we used 2,249 TNBC patients database. The loss of Cdc20 by RNA interference (shRNA) and several mitotic inhibitors including Apcin, ZM447439, BI 2536, and VX-680 on the capacities of proliferation, migration, invasion were evaluated by colony-forming, wound-healing, transwell assay, and western blot, respectively.

resultsWe studied the mitosis-related genes and proteins that are closely related to TNBC through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. We found that Cdc20, one of the central mitotic regulators, is significantly upregulated in human TNBC, and its expression level is positively correlated with metastasis-free and relapse-free patient survival. We also found Cdc20 is highly conserved in TNBC in comparison to other breast cancer subtype cell lines. Cdc20 deficiency results in a decrease in cell growth and migration in four TNBC cell lines. Also, several mitotic inhibitors, such as Apcin, VX-680, ZM447439, and BI 2536, blocked cancer cell growth and invasion.

conclusionsThese results suggest an essential role of Cdc20 in tumor formation and metastasis of TNBC, which might be a potential target therapy for TNBC treatment.
