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 an aggressive subtype of BC characterized by extensive intratumoral heterogeneity. Compared with other types of BC, TNBC is more prone to invasion and metastasis. The aim of the present study was to determine whether adenovirus-mediated clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system is capable of effectively targeting enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) in TNBC cells and lay an experimental basis for the investigation of the CRISPR/Cas9 system as a gene therapy for BC. In the present study, EZH2 was knocked out in MDA-MB-231 cells using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tool to create EZH2-knockout (KO) group (EZH2-KO group). Moreover, the GFP knockout group (control group), and a blank group (Blank group), were employed. The success of vector construction and EZH2-KO were verified by T7 endonuclease I (T7EI) restriction enzyme digestion, mRNA detection and western blotting. Changes in proliferation and migration ability of MDA-MB-231 cells following gene editing were detected by MTT, wound healing, Transwell and
