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

Previously considered "housekeeping" genes, small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are increasingly understood to have wide-ranging functions in cancer, yet their role in metastasis has been less well studied. Here, we identify the snoRNA Snord67 as a regulator of lymph node (LN) metastasis in breast cancer. Snord67 expression is enriched in LN metastases in an immune-competent mouse model of female breast cancer. In an orthotopic breast cancer model, loss of Snord67 decreases LN metastasis. In a model of lymphatic metastasis, Snord67 loss decreases LN tumor growth and distant metastases. In breast cancer cell lines, Snord67 knockout results in loss of targeted 2'-O-methylation on U6 small nuclear RNA, as well as widespread changes in splicing. Together, these results demonstrate that Snord67 regulates splicing and promotes the growth of LN metastases and subsequent spread to distant metastases. SnoRNA-guided modifications of the spliceosome and regulation of splicing may represent a potentially targetable pathway in cancer.
