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 cancer and the top cause of female mortality worldwide. The prognosis for patients with breast cancer liver metastasis (BCLM) remains poor. Emerging studies suggest that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are associated with the progression of BC. Exploration of circRNAs presents a promising avenue for identifying metastasis-targeting agents and improving the prognosis of patients with BCLM. Microarray and bioinformatic analyses were used to analyze differentially expressed circRNAs between three pairs of BCLM and primary BC. The roles of hsa_circ_0060467 (circMYBL2) and its target gene E2F1 in BC cells were explored by multiple functional experiments. And xenograft mouse models and hepatic metastases of BC hemi-spleen models were used to illustrate the function of circMYBL2 in vivo. The intrinsic molecular mechanism involving circMYBL2 was confirmed by bioinformatics analyses, RIP assays, CHIRP assays, luciferase reporter assays, and rescue experiments. CircMYBL2 was overexpressed in BCLM tissues and BC cells. Functionally, circMYBL2 can facilitate the proliferation and liver metastasis of BC. Mechanistically, circMYBL2 upregulated the transcription factor E2F1 by sponging miR-1205 and complexing with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A3 (eIF4A3) and then facilitated the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in BC cells. Our findings showed that circMYBL2 promoted the tumorigenesis and aggressiveness of BC through the circMYBL2/miR-1205/E2F1 and circMYBL2/eIF4A3/E2F1 axes, which may provide a novel targeted therapy for patients with BCLM.
