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

Ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) is an epigenetic regulator that plays critical roles in tumours. However, the DNA methylation alteration patterns driven by UHRF1 and the related differentially expressed tumour-related genes remain unclear. In this study, a UHRF1-shRNA MCF-7 cell line was constructed, and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and RNA sequencing were performed. The DNA methylation alteration landscape was elucidated, and DNA methylation-altered regions (DMRs) were found to be distributed in both gene bodies and adjacent regions. The DMRs were annotated and categorized into 488 hypermethylated/1696 hypomethylated promoters and 1149 hypermethylated/5501 hypomethylated gene bodies. Through an integrated analysis with the RNA sequencing data, 217 methylation-regulated upregulated genes and 288 downregulated genes were identified, and these genes were primarily enriched in nervous system development and cancer signalling pathways. Further analysis revealed 21 downregulated oncogenes and 15 upregulated TSGs. We also showed that UHRF1 silencing inhibited cell proliferation and migration and suppressed tumour growth in vivo. Our study suggested that UHRF1 and the oncogenes or TSGs it regulates might serve as biomarkers and targets for breast cancer treatment.
