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

Long non-coding RNA MINCR performs a tumor-promoting role in various cancers. Accordingly, this research analyzed whether MINCR exerted tumor-promoting effects and facilitated gemcitabine (GEM) resistance in BC. MINCR, microRNA (miR)-876-5p, ZEB1, and PHGDH expression was detected in BC tissues and cells. Following the construction of GEM-resistant cells, MINCR expression was examined with RT-qPCR. Gain- and loss-of-function assays were conducted in GEM-resistant cells, followed by the measurement of cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis. The relationships among MINCR, miR-876-5p, and ZEB1 were assessed with dual-luciferase and RIP assays. Subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice was conducted for in vivo corroboration. MINCR was up-regulated in BC tissues and cells and GEM-resistant BC cells. miR-876-5p expression was poor and ZEB1 and PHGDH expression was abundant in BC tissues. Mechanistically, MINCR enhanced ZEB1 expression in BC cells via competitive binding to miR-876-5p, and ectopic ZEB1 induced PHGDH up-regulation. MINCR silencing diminished proliferation and invasion while accelerating apoptosis in GEM-resistant BC cells, which was further advanced by miR-876-5p overexpression but nullified by ZEB1 overexpression. Meanwhile, MINCR silencing or miR-876-5p overexpression synergized with GEM to depress BC growth in vivo. MINCR silencing impedes GEM resistance in BC through the miR-876-5p/ZEB1/PHGDH axis.
