ALKBH family members as novel biomarkers and prognostic factors in human breast cancer.
Article in Aging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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 lethal carcinoma worldwide and better targeted therapies are still worthy of exploration, having had some great successes already. Abnormal expression of ALKBH members were found in various cancers, and the roles played by it were the focus of attention. The ALKBH gene family encodes nine homologous enzymes (ALKBH1-8 and FTO) to repair DNA or RNA depending on Fe2+ and α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), which is related to carcinogenesis. In this study, we applied several databases to explore the roles of ALKBHs in breast cancer. We found that ALKBH members were abnormal expression in breast cancer and associated with tumor stage and subclasses. Higher alteration rates of ALKBH family were found in breast cancer. Function enrichment revealed that several cancer-associated signal pathways were related to ALKBH family such as PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and axon guidance. Infiltration of immune cells (Eosinophiles, NK CD56bright cells, mast cells, T helper cells and so on) were strongly related to ALKBHs. Moreover, we further found that there was strong correlation between ALKBH7 and higher age, later T stage, ER/PR positive and post-menopause of breast cancer patients, and patients with higher ALKBH7 expression had shorter overall survival (OS) and post progression survival (PPS). In conclusion, our findings may provide novel insights into ALKBH-targeted therapy for breast cancer patients, and ALKBH7 may be a potential prognostic biomarker.
