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

backgroundChemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is often limited in efficacy due to drug resistance. The NOTCH1 pathway significantly contributes to the advancement of tumors, but its mechanism of action in sensitizing TNBC to chemotherapy and its association with the downstream molecule, NT5E, is unclear.

aimTo explore the molecular mechanisms by which NOTCH1 regulates cisplatin sensitivity in TNBC cells, and to validate its synergistic effect with NT5E.

methodsExpression of NOTCH1 in MDA-MB-231 cells was silenced using RNA interference, and the changes in cell proliferation, migration and cisplatin sensitivity were measured in combination with cell function experiments. The regulatory relationship between NOTCH1 and NT5E was analyzed using qPCR and Western blotting, and the silencing effect of NOTCH1 was verified using NT5E overexpression experiments.

resultsKnockdown of NOTCH1 hindered the growth and motility of TNBC cells and lowered cisplatin's half-maximal inhibitory concentration. Expression of NOTCH1 and NT5E was positively correlated, and NOTCH1 silencing led to a decrease in the expression of NT5E. Elevated NT5E expression attenuated the suppressive effects of NOTCH1 knockdown on both cell proliferation and cisplatin response.

conclusionNOTCH1 enhances TNBC cisplatin chemosensitivity by regulating NT5E expression. This study provides a new target and experimental basis for the development of combination therapy strategies for TNBC.
