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 (BC) is the most common malignant tumor in women worldwide, and its recurrence and metastasis negatively affect patient prognosis. However, the mechanisms underlying its tumorigenesis and progression remain unclear. Recently, the influence of dermatopontin (DPT), which is an extracellular matrix protein, has been proposed in the development of cancer. Here we found that DNMT3a-mediated DPT, promoter hypermethylation results in the downregulation of DPT expression in breast cancer and its low expression correlated with poor prognosis. Notably, DPT directly interacted with YAP to promote YAP Ser127 phosphorylation, and restricted the translocation of endogenous YAP from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, thereby suppressing malignant phenotypes in BC cells. In addition, Ectopic YAP overexpression reversed the inhibitory effects of DPT on BC growth and metastasis. Our study showed the critical role of DPT in regulating BC progression, making it easier to explore the clinical potential of modulating DPT/YAP activity in BC targeted therapies.
