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

GATA-binding protein 4 (GATA4) is recognized for its significant roles in embryogenesis and various cancers. Through bioinformatics and clinical data, it appears that GATA4 plays a role in breast cancer development. Yet, the specific roles and mechanisms of GATA4 in breast cancer progression remain elusive. In this study, we identify GATA4 as a tumor suppressor in the invasion and migration of breast cancer. Functionally, GATA4 significantly reduces the transcription of MMP9. On a mechanistic level, GATA4 diminishes MMP9 transcription by interacting with p65 at the NF-κB binding site on the MMP9 promoter. Additionally, GATA4 promotes the recruitment of HDAC1, amplifying the bond between p65 and HDAC1. This leads to decreased acetylation of p65, thus inhibiting p65's transcriptional activity on the MMP9 promoter. Moreover, GATA4 hampers the metastasis of breast cancer in vivo mouse model. In summary, our research unveils a novel mechanism wherein GATA4 curtails breast cancer cell metastasis by downregulating MMP9 expression, suggesting a potential therapeutic avenue for breast cancer metastasis.
