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

DNAJB9, a member of the heat shock protein 40 family, acts as a multifunctional player involved in the maintenance of their client proteins and cellular homeostasis. However, the mechanistic action of DNAJB9 in human malignancies is yet to be fully understood. In this study, we found that ectopic restoration of DNAJB9 inhibits the migration, invasion, in vivo metastasis, and lung colonization of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Mechanistically, DNAJB9 stabilizes FBXO45 protein by suppressing self-ubiquitination and reduces the abundance of ZEB1 by Lys48-linked polyubiquitination to inhibit the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis. Clinically, the reduction of DNAJB9 expression, concomitant with decreased FBXO45 abundance in breast cancer tissues, correlates with poorer clinical outcomes of patients with breast cancer. Taken together, our results provide a novel insight into the metastasis of TNBC and define a promising therapeutic strategy for cancers with overactive ZEB1 by regulating the DNAJB9-FBXO45 signaling axis.
