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

backgroundBreast cancer is one of the common malignancies in women. Evidence has demonstrated that FBXO45 plays a pivotal role in oncogenesis and progression. However, the role of FBXO45 in breast tumorigenesis remains elusive. Exploration of the regulatory mechanisms of FBXO45 in breast cancer development is pivotal for potential therapeutic interventions in patients with breast cancer.

methodsHence, we used numerous approaches to explore the functions of FBXO45 and its underlaying mechanisms in breast cancer pathogenesis, including CCK-8 assay, EdU assay, colony formation analysis, apoptosis assay, RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, ubiquitination assay, and cycloheximide chase assay.

resultsWe found that downregulation of FBXO45 inhibited cell proliferation, while upregulation of FBXO45 elevated cell proliferation in breast cancer. Silencing of FBXO45 induced cell apoptosis, whereas overexpression of FBXO45 inhibited cell apoptosis in breast cancer. Moreover, FBXO45 interacted with BIM and regulated its ubiquitination and degradation. Furthermore, knockdown of FBXO45 inhibited cell proliferation via regulation of BIM pathway. Notably, overexpression of FBXO45 facilitated tumor growth in mice. Strikingly, FBXO45 expression was associated with poor survival of breast cancer patients.

conclusionOur study could provide the rational for targeting FBXO45 to obtain benefit for breast cancer patients. Altogether, modulating FBXO45/Bim axis could be a promising strategy for breast cancer therapy.
