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

Ubiquilin‑1 (UBQLN1) is an essential factor for the maintenance of proteostasis in cells. It is important for the regulation of different protein degradation mechanisms, including the ubiquitin‑proteasome system, autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum‑associated protein degradation pathways. However, the role of UBQLN1 in cancer progression remains largely unknown. In the present study, the expression, functions and molecular mechanisms of UBQLN1 in breast cancer tissue samples and cell lines were explored. Immunohistochemical and bioinformatics analyses revealed that UBQLN1 expression was significantly upregulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. UBQLN1 expression in breast cancer was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage. Moreover, a high UBQLN1 expression was a predictor of an unfavorable survival in patients with breast cancer.
