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.
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 (BC) poses a significant global health challenge, with chemotherapy resistance, especially to docetaxel, remaining a major obstacle in effective treatment. The molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance are critical for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
objectiveThis study aims to explore the role of dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 2 (DYRK2), a member of the DYRK family, in docetaxel resistance in breast cancer cells and investigate its impact on cellular responses, including drug sensitivity and migration. Additionally, potential interactions between DYRK2 and Twist1, associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and drug resistance, are explored.
methodsDocetaxel-resistant breast cancer cells were induced, and the expression levels of DYRK2, Twist1, and related genes were evaluated using real-time PCR and Western blotting. Lentivirus-mediated DYRK2 overexpression was employed to assess its effect on drug sensitivity, migratory ability, and Twist1 expression. The relationship between DYRK2 and Twist1 was examined, focusing on Twist1 ubiquitination. The impact of Twist1 on chemotherapy resistance and its binding to the Glutathione S-transferase Pi 1 (GSTP1) promoter were also investigated.
resultsDocetaxel-resistant cells exhibited down-regulated DYRK2 and up-regulated Twist1 expression. DYRK2 overexpression reversed drug resistance, decreased migration, and attenuated Twist1 and GST-π expression. DYRK2 was found to suppress Twist1 expression through ubiquitination, supported by decreased Twist1 phosphorylation and increased ubiquitination after DYRK2 overexpression. Twist1 overexpression counteracted DYRK2-induced drug sensitivity enhancement, promoting GST-π expression, EMT, migration, and proliferation. Twist1 was shown to bind to the GSTP1 promoter, enhancing its transcription. In vivo experiments confirmed DYRK2's ability to suppress chemoresistance in breast cancer cells.
conclusionDYRK2 plays a pivotal role in overcoming docetaxel resistance in breast cancer cells by suppressing Twist1 expression through ubiquitination, impacting downstream signaling and cellular responses. This study provides valuable insights for developing targeted therapies to improve breast cancer treatment outcomes.
