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

backgroundMounting findings have revealed the increasingly appreciated functional importance of Retinoblastoma binding protein (RBBP) family members in tumorigenesis. However, the biological function of RBBP4 in breast cancer, especially in the most malignant and aggressive subtype, i.e., triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), remains to be elucidated.

objectiveThe present study was aimed at elucidating the role of RBBP4 in TNBC pathogenesis.

methodsThe expression of RBBP4 in TNBC tissues and cell lines was examined and its oncogenic-related functions were verified by performing a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments.

resultsAt the cellular and tissue level, a marked increase in the RBBP4 expression was observed. Functionally, RBBP4 knockdown dramatically inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of TNBC cells in vitro. Further, mechanistically, RBBP4 downregulation regulated the inactivation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of TNBC cells. In vivo xenograft model in nude mice also validated these results.

conclusionCollectively, our results showed that the inhibition of RBBP4 suppresses the malignant progression of TNBC cells by regulating EMT. Thus, RBBP4 could serve as a novel biomarker and target for TNBC diagnosis and treatment.
