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

Breast cancer is common worldwide. Phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5) belongs to the phosphoglycerate mutase family and plays an important role in many cancers. However, research on its role in breast cancer remains unclear. The present investigation highlights the significant expression of PGAM5 in breast cancer and its essential role in cell proliferation, invasion, apoptosis and the regulation of ferroptosis in breast cancer cells. Overexpression or knockdown of ubiquitin-specific protease 11 (USP11) promotes or inhibits the growth and metastasis of breast cancer cells, respectively, in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, USP11 stabilizes PGAM5 via de-ubiquitination, protecting it from proteasome-mediated degradation. In addition, the USP11/PGAM5 complex promotes breast cancer progression by activating iron death-related proteins, indicating that the synergy between USP11 and PGAM5 may serve as a predictor of disease outcome and provide a new treatment strategy for breast cancer.
