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 is the most common cancer type among women worldwide. The majority of breast cancer expresses estrogen receptor (ER) and endocrine therapy is a standard treatment of ER-positive breast cancer. However, development of the therapy resistance is still a major challenge and thus new therapeutic approaches are needed. Here we show that an RNA-binding protein, PSPC1, play a crucial role in ER-positive breast cancer growth through post-transcriptional gene regulation. We showed that siRNA-mediated PSPC1 silencing suppressed the proliferation of ER-positive breast cancer cells. Strong immunoreactivity (IR) of PSPC1 was correlated with poor prognosis for ER-positive breast cancer patients. Using immunoprecipitation, RNA-immunoprecipitation (RIP) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) experiments, we showed that PSPC1 interacted with PSF and was involved in post-transcriptional regulation of PSF target genes, ESR1 and SCFD2. Strong SCFD2 IR was correlated with poor prognosis for ER-positive breast cancer patients and combinations of PSPC1, PSF, and SCFD2 IRs were potent prognostic factors. Moreover, we identified DDIAS and MYBL1 as SCFD2 downstream target genes using microarray analysis, and finally showed that SCFD2 silencing suppressed tamoxifen-resistant breast tumor growth in vivo. These results indicated that PSPC1 and SCFD2 axis could be a promising target in the clinical management of the disease.
