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

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the subtype of advanced breast cancer with the shortest survival time and the poorest prognosis, and treatment options are relatively limited. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles enriched with bioactive molecules, are critical mediators of intercellular communication and have been implicated in cancer progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanism of exosomes promoting the proliferation and migration of TNBC. Methods: In this study, exosomes were identified by Flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy, and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to identify differentially expressed genes and downstream regulatory molecules in exosomes. RNA-seq results were supported by bioinformatics analysis and Western blot analysis. Functional assays including Results: Serum-derived exosomes from patients with TNBC can induce TNBC progression Conclusions: Taken together, our study revealed that the exosome lncRNA SNHG4 exerts its oncogenic role by activating XPO5-mediated pathways, thereby regulating TNBC cell proliferation and migration. This can be considered as a potential target for TNBC molecular therapy.
