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

objectiveTo explore the influence and the underlying mechanism of vaspin (visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin) on the development of triple-negative breast malignancy.

methodsFirst, we analyzed medical records and screened out 22 breast cancer patients with different BMI according to inclusion and exclusion criterion, and measured serum vaspin of those patients. Then we studied the effects of vaspin on TNBC cell lines by using EdU assay, colony formation, transwell and wound-healing assay. Later, we used bioinformatics analysis to identify downstream effectors and verify with qRT-PCR, luciferase assay, western blot, etc.

resultsWe found the vaspin level was positively correlated with BMI in breast malignant patients and vaspin could significantly enhance the proliferation, infiltration and transferring of triple-negative breast cancer cells by restraining the expression of miR-33a-5p. By using bioinformatic analysis and luciferase assay, we identified miR-33a-5p directly regulating ABHD2.

conclusionVaspin, as a cancer-promoting cytokine, may inhibit miR-33a-5p thus increasing the level of ABHD2 to promote the development of the triple-negative breast cancer.
