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

backgroundWe explored the potential novel anticancer mechanisms of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), a vitamin D metabolite with antitumour effects in breast cancer. It is stable in serum and is used to assess vitamin D levels in clinical practice. Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs are small noncoding RNAs that generate various distinct biological functions, but more research is needed on their role in breast cancer.

methodsSmall RNA microarrays were used to explore the novel regulatory mechanism of 25(OH)D. High-throughput RNA-sequencing technology was used to detect transcriptome changes after 25(OH)D treatment and tRF-1-Ser knockdown. RNA pull-down and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry were used to explore the proteins bound to tRF-1-Ser. In vitro and in vivo functional experiments were conducted to assess the influence of 25(OH)D and tRF-1-Ser on breast cancer. Semi-quantitative PCR was performed to detect alternative splicing events. Western blot assay and qPCR were used to assess protein and mRNA expression.

resultsThe expression of tRF-1-Ser is negatively regulated by 25(OH)D. In our breast cancer (BRCA) clinical samples, we found that the expression of tRF-1-Ser was higher in cancer tissues than in paired normal tissues, and was significantly associated with tumour invasion. Moreover, tRF-1-Ser inhibits the function of MBNL1 by hindering its nuclear translocation. Functional experiments and transcriptome data revealed that the downregulation of tRF-1-Ser plays a vital role in the anticancer effect of 25(OH)D.

conclusionsIn brief, our research revealed a novel anticancer mechanism of 25(OH)D, unveiled the vital function of tRF-1-Ser in BRCA progression, and suggested that tRF-1-Ser could emerge as a new therapeutic target for BRCA.
