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

Multiple new subtypes of breast cancer (BRCA) are identified in women each year, rendering BRCA the most common and rapidly expanding form of cancer in females globally. NUF2 has been identified as a prognostic factor in various human cancers, regulating cell apoptosis and proliferation. However, its role in BRCA prognosis has not been clarified. This study explored the role of NUF2 in breast cancer development and prognosis using informatic analysis combined with in vivo intracellular studies. Through the online website TIMER, we evaluated the transcription profile of NUF2 across a variety of different cancer types and found that NUF2 mRNA was highly expressed in BRCA patients. Its transcription level was found to be related to the subtype, pathological stage, and prognosis of BRCA. The R program analysis showed a correlation of NUF2 with cell proliferation and tumor stemness in the BRCA patient samples. Subsequently, the association between the NUF2 expression level and immune cell infiltration was analyzed using the XIANTAO and TIMER tools. The results revealed that NUF2 expression was correlated with the responses of multiple immune cells. Furthermore, we observed the effect of NUF2 expression on tumor stemness in BRCA cell lines in vivo. The experimental results illuminated that the overexpression of NUF2 statistically upregulated the proliferation and tumor stemness ability of the BRCA cell lines MCF-7 and Hs-578T. Meanwhile, the knockdown of NUF2 inhibited the abilities of both cell lines, a finding which was verified by analyzing the subcutaneous tumorigenic ability in nude mice. In summary, this study suggests that NUF2 may play a key role in the development and progression of BRCA by affecting tumor stemness. As a stemness indicator, it has the potential to be one of the markers for the diagnosis of BRCA.
