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

The number of breast cancer (BC) patients is increasing year by year, which is severely endangering to human life and health. c-Myc is a transcription factor, studies have shown that it is a very significant factor in tumor progression, but how it is regulated in BC is still not well understood. Here, we used the RIP microarray sequencing to confirm circXPO6, which had a high affinity with c-Myc and highly expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tissues and cells. CircXPO6 overexpression promoted tumor growth in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, circXPO6 largely promoted the expression of genes related to glucose metabolism, such as GLUT1, HK2, and MCT4 in TNBC cells. Finally, high levels of circXPO6 expression were found to be closely associated with malignant pathological factors, such as tumor size, lymph node metastasis, TNM staging, and histopathological grading of TNBC. Mechanistically, circXPO6 interacted with c-Myc to prevent speckle-type POZ-mediated c-Myc ubiquitination and degradation, thus promoting TNBC progression. Through the regulation of c-Myc-mediated signal transduction, circXPO6 plays a key role in TNBC progresses. This discovery can provide new ideas for TNBC molecular targeted therapy.
