Highly expressed CENPL is correlated with breast cancer cell proliferation and immune infiltration.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Centromere protein L (CENPL) is associated with a variety of human diseases. However, its function in breast cancer remains uncertain. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and genotype-tissue expression across cancer data were used to investigate CENPL expression. Using TCGA clinical survival data, the relationship between CENPL expression and patient prognosis was assessed. Using the cluster profiler R software tool, enrichment analysis of CENPL was carried out. Additionally, by studying the TCGA database, the relationship between CENPL expression and immune cell infiltration was assessed. To evaluate CENPL's impact on breast cancer cell proliferation, the CCK8 test and colony-formation assay were carried out. Scratch testing and the transwell assay were used to evaluate the effects of CENPL on breast cancer cell migration. Results: Breast cancer was one of numerous tumor forms with high CENPL expression. Significant relationships between high CENPL expression and the cell cycle, nuclear division, organelle fission, and chromosome segregation were found. Further investigation revealed that minimal infiltration of CD8-positive T cells and natural killer (NK) cells and high levels of Tregs and macrophages were correlated with high levels of CENPL expression. CENPL expression was linked to more than half of the ICP genes. Breast cancer cells' ability to proliferate and migrate was decreased by CENPL knockdown. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that CENPL may be an oncogene in breast cancer and a predictor of efficacy of immunotherapy for breast cancer.
