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

RNA-based therapeutics highlighted novel approaches to target either coding or noncoding molecules for multiple diseases treatment. In breast cancer (BC), a multitude of deregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as potential therapeutic targets also in the context of antiestrogen resistance, and the RNA binding activity of the estrogen receptor α (ERα) points additional potential candidates to interfere with estrogenic signaling. A set of lncRNAs was selected among ERα-associated RNAs in BC cell nuclei due to their roles in processes such as transcriptional regulation and epigenetic chromatin modifications. Native immunoprecipitation of nuclear ERα-interacting RNAs coupled to NGS (RIP-Seq) was performed in MCF-7 cells, leading to the identification of essential lncRNAs interacting with the receptor in multi-molecular regulatory complexes. Among these, PVT1, FGD5-AS1 and EPB41L4A-AS1 were selected for further investigation. Functional assays and transcriptome analysis following lncRNA knock-down indicated PVT1 as the master modulator of some of the most relevant BC hallmarks, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and response to hypoxia. In addition, targeted experiments identified PVT1 as a key factor in the composition of PRC2-ERα network involved in downregulation of tumor suppressor genes, including BTG2.
