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

backgroundTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Autophagy targeting plays a complex role in tumor resistance. The role of long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) RMST in TNBC progression and its potential involvement in autophagy regulation remain largely unexplored.

methodsWe performed a bioinformatics analysis using transcriptome sequencing data to identify differentially expressed genes related to autophagy and the LncRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis in TNBC. The effects of the LncRNA RMST-miR-4295-ITPR1 axis on TNBC cell proliferation and migration were investigated using CCK-8, EdU, Transwell, and wound healing assays. Additionally, a series of in vitro experiments, including flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy, and western blotting, were performed to evaluate the role of the LncRNA RMST-miR-4295-ITPR1 axis in regulating autophagy.

resultsLncRNA RMST competes with ITPR1 mRNA for miR-4295 binding, thereby relieving the miR-4295-mediated suppression of ITPR1 and increasing ITPR1 expression. Overexpression of LncRNA RMST or ITPR1 significantly inhibited TNBC cell proliferation and migration, promoted apoptosis, and enhanced autophagy. Conversely, miR-4295 overexpression reversed these effects, confirming the regulatory role of the LncRNA RMST-miR-4295-ITPR1 axis in autophagy in TNBC.

conclusionsOur findings indicate that the LncRNA RMST-miR-4295-ITPR1 axis plays a crucial role in regulating autophagy in TNBC cells. The modulation of this axis may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for inhibiting TNBC progression and overcoming chemoresistance.
