Effect of Emi1 gene silencing on the proliferation and invasion of human breast cancer cells.

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.
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 is the most common malignant tumour in women. The early silk-splitting inhibitor protein 1 Emi1 is responsible for mediating ubiquitin protein degradation. The present study investigated the effects of the decreased expression of the Emil gene on the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells. The interference efficiency of small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) was quantitatively verified using fluorescence real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting, and the effect of Emi1 gene silencing on cell vitality and invasion was determined using MTT and Transwell assays, respectively. The expression of the proliferation genes programmed cell death receptor 4 (PDCD-4), fatty acid synthase ligand (FasL), PTEN and RhoB, along with the invasive genes Maspin, TIMP3 and RECK, was measured using fluorescence RT-qPCR. In breast cancer cells, siRNA successfully reduced the expression of the Emi1 gene, and the expression level of the cell proliferation genes PDCD-4, FasL, PTEN and RhoB, along with invasive genes Maspin, TIMP3 and RECK, decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Furthermore, Emi1 gene silencing reduced the proliferation and invasion abilities of MDA-MB-231 and SUM149PT cells by reducing the expression of proliferative and invasive genes.
