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

backgroundThe metastatic mechanisms of axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remain unclear. We aimed to identify the potential circRNA regulatory network in ALN metastasis.

methodsWe performed whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) to determine the expression profiles of RNAs and screen out differentially expressed messenger RNAs (DEMs), microRNAs (DEMis), and circRNAs (DECs) between ALN-positive and ALN-negative TNBC patients. Functional enrichment analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were utilized to unearth the potential regulatory mechanisms of the DEMs. A competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed using computational biology. The expression levels of DECs in cell lines were confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT‒PCR).

resultsFollowing WTS and differential expression analysis, 739 DEMs, 110 DEMis, and 206 DECs were identified between ALN-positive and ALN-negative TNBC patients. Functional analysis indicated that the DEMs mainly functioned in carcinogenesis and tumor progression-related pathways. ceRNA networks containing eight circRNAs, six miRNAs, and eighteen mRNAs were developed. In the ceRNA network, two mRNAs (RAB3D and EDARADD) that were significantly associated with better overall survival and one mRNA (GSR) that predicted favorable recurrence-free survival in TNBC patients were chosen for further analysis. Then, a survival-related ceRNA network containing two DECs (hsa_circ_0061260 and hsa_circ_0060876), two DEMis (hsa-miR-5000-3p and hsa-miR-4792), and three mRNAs (GSR, RAB3D, and EDARADD) was identified. Then, two candidate DECs were validated by real-time PCR.

conclusionOur research constructed a ceRNA network that provides novel insights into the molecular mechanism of ALN metastasis and potential therapeutic targets in TNBC.
