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

BACKGROUND Aberrant expression of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) SLC26A4 antisense RNA 1 (SLC26A4-AS1) plays an important role in some cancer types. However, the clinical significance of SLC26A4-AS1 in patients with breast cancer (BC) and the possible regulatory mechanisms of SLC26A4-AS1 are unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS Statistical analysis was used to assess the correlation between SLC26A4-AS1 expression and patients' clinical characteristics. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used to assess the correlation between SLC26A4-AS1 expression and prognosis. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and immuno-infiltration analysis were used to investigate the possible regulatory mechanisms of SLC26A4-AS1. RESULTS Low SLC26A4-AS1 expression in BC was associated with age (P<0.001), estrogen-receptor status (P<0.001), PAM50 (P<0.001), and menopause status (P<0.001). Low SLC26A4-AS1 expression predicted a poorer overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.56; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.40-0.78; P=0.001) and disease-specific survival (DSS) (HR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.37-0.88; P=0.011). Also, SLC26A4-AS1 expression (HR: 0.298; 95% CI: 0.154-0.579; P<0.001) was independently correlated with OS in patients with BC. SLC26A4-AS1 was related to CYP2E1 reactions, protein export, mitochondrial_ciii_assembly, formation of adenosine triphosphate by chemiosmotic coupling, budding and maturation of HIV virion, cristae formation, biocarta proteasome pathway, endosomal sorting complex required for transport, and histone modification. SLC26A4-AS1 expression was associated with some types of immune infiltrating cells. CONCLUSIONS SLC26A4-AS1 expression was significantly associated with poor survival and immune infiltration in patients with BC. It may be a promising prognostic biomarker for BC.
