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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous and aggressive disease with poor prognosis. Acetylation modifications affect a great number of biological processes of malignant tumors. The current study aims at revealing the role of acetylation-related mechanism in TNBC progression. Methyltransferase like-3 (METTL3) was found to be downregulated in TNBC cells via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blot analyses. Co-Immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and GST pulldown assays revealed the interaction between acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) and METTL3. Through further immunoprecipitation (IP) assay, we determined that ACAT1 stabilizes METTL3 protein via inhibiting the degradation of ubiquitin-proteasome. Functionally, ACAT1 inhibits TNBC cell migration and invasion. Moreover, nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 6 (NR2F6) regulates ACAT1 expression at transcriptional level. Finally, we demonstrated that NR2F6/ACAT/METTL3 axis suppresses the migration and invasion of TNBC cells via METTL3. In conclusion, NR2F6 transcriptionally activates ACAT1 and promotes the suppressive effects of ACAT1-mediated METTL3 acetylation on TNBC cell migration and invasion.
