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

During the female lifetime, the expansion of the epithelium dictated by the ovarian cycles is supported by a transient increase in the mammary epithelial stem cell population (MaSCs). Notably, activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is an important trigger for MaSC expansion. Here, we report that the miR-424/503 cluster is a modulator of canonical Wnt signaling in the mammary epithelium. We show that mammary tumors of miR-424(322)/503-depleted mice exhibit activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Importantly, we show a strong association between miR-424/503 deletion and breast cancers with high levels of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Moreover, miR-424/503 cluster is required for Wnt-mediated MaSC expansion induced by the ovarian cycles. Lastly, we show that miR-424/503 exerts its function by targeting two binding sites at the 3'UTR of the LRP6 co-receptor and reducing its expression. These results unveil an unknown link between the miR-424/503, regulation of Wnt signaling, MaSC fate, and tumorigenesis.
