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

Background: As a common malignant disease in females, breast cancer (BCa) causes increasing numbers of cancer-related death. Collagen X alpha 1 chain (COL10A1) plays a critical role in the oncogenesis and progression of malignant tumors. However, a systematic analysis of COL10A1 in BCa has not been conducted. Methods: The COL10A1 expression level and prognostic value in BCa were defined through the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) as well as the Kaplan-Meier plotter data respectively. The expression pattern of COL10A1 was subsequently confirmed on tissue microarray (TMA) by immunochemistry (IHC) staining. Moreover, cellular functional assays which aimed to evaluate cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis, were conducted to investigate the oncogenic activity of COL10A1 in BCa. Then, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) was adopted to determine the association between COL10A1 expression and immune cell infiltration. Results: Bioinformatics analysis revealed that COL10A1 was significantly overexpressed and had notable prognostic value, especially for distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) in BCa. Moreover, IHC analysis of 140 BCa tissues on TMA chips exhibited the overexpression of COL10A1 was correlated to advanced clinical stage, poor overall survival (OS), and worse recurrence-free survival (RFS). Besides, knockdown of COL10A1 remarkably suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in BCa cells, and notably promoted cell apoptosis as well. Furthermore, COL10A1 was positively associated with immune cell infiltration including B cell, CD8 Conclusion: The results revealed that COL10A1 is a novel oncogene and could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in BCa. Besides, the downregulation of COL10A1 could inhibit BCa progression, which could be a potential target for BCa therapy.
