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

Breast cancer (BC), an extremely aggressive malignant tumor, causes a large number of deaths worldwide. In this study, we pooled profile datasets from three cohorts to illuminate the underlying key genes and pathways of BC. Expression profiles GSE42568, GSE45827, and GSE124646, including 244 BC tissues and 28 normal breast tissues, were integrated and analyzed. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened out based on these three datasets. Functional analysis including Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) pathway were performed using The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). Moreover, Cytoscape with Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) and Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) plugin were utilized to visualize protein protein interaction (PPI) of these DEGs. The module with the highest connectivity of gene interactions was selected for further analysis. All of these hub genes had a significantly worse prognosis in BC by survival analysis. Additionally, four genes (CDK1, CDC20, AURKA, and MCM4) dramatically were enriched in oocyte meiosis and cell cycle pathways through re-analysis of DAVID. Moreover, the mRNA and protein levels of CDK1, CDC20, AURKA, and MCM4 were significantly increased in BC patients. In addition, knockdown of CDK1 and CDC20 by small interfering RNA remarkably suppressed cell migration and invasion in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. In conclusion, our results suggested that CDK1, CDC20, AURKA, and MCM4 were reliable biomarkers of BC via bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation and may act as prospective targets for BC diagnosis and treatment.
