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

The molecular mechanisms underlying estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast carcinogenesis and endocrine therapy resistance remain incompletely understood. Here, we report that circPVT1, a circular RNA generated from the lncRNA PVT1, is highly expressed in ERα-positive breast cancer cell lines and tumor samples and is functionally important in promoting ERα-positive breast tumorigenesis and endocrine therapy resistance. CircPVT1 acts as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to sponge miR-181a-2-3p, promoting the expression of ESR1 and downstream ERα-target genes and breast cancer cell growth. Furthermore, circPVT1 directly interacts with MAVS protein to disrupt the RIGI-MAVS complex formation, inhibiting type I interferon (IFN) signaling pathway and anti-tumor immunity. Anti-sense oligonucleotide (ASO)-targeting circPVT1 inhibits ERα-positive breast cancer cell and tumor growth, re-sensitizing tamoxifen-resistant ERα-positive breast cancer cells to tamoxifen treatment. Taken together, our data demonstrated that circPVT1 can work through both ceRNA and protein scaffolding mechanisms to promote cancer. Thus, circPVT1 may serve as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for ERα-positive breast cancer in the clinic.
