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

Approximately 25% of breast cancer (BC) patients are HER2-positive. Trastuzumab is used as a targeted therapy drug to treat HER2-positive BC patients; however, the drug resistance remains a big challenge. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are reported to be involved in drug resistance, but the role of circ_0001598 has never been studied in BC. First, we identified the expression of circ_0001598 by RT-qPCR in BC. The gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies were applied to study the functional roles of circ_0001598 and its target gene. We observed upregulation of circ_0001598 in BC tissues, especially in trastuzumab-resistant BC samples. We further identified that miR-1184 is a functional target of circ_0001598. Moreover, it was found that programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) was a direct target of miR-1184. The oncogenic effects of circ_0001598 in promoting BC cell growth, trastuzumab-resistance, PD-L1 expression, and escaping of CD8 T cell killing were abolished after the restoration of miR-1184. In conclusion, we demonstrate that circ_0001598/miR-1184/PD-L1 signaling plays a crucial role in the regulation of BC progression and trastuzumab-resistance phonotypes, which suggests that circ_0001598 may be a molecular target to treat HER2-positive BC patients.
