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

Breast cancer (BC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with limited treatment options for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The RNA-binding protein non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein (NONO) has emerged as a critical regulator of tumorigenesis, but its role in immune signaling remains unexplored. We analyzed the effect of NONO protein by modulating its expression using short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and a chemical inhibitor (R)-SKBG-1. We demonstrate that NONO depletion in MDA-MB-231 TNBC cells leads to cytoplasmic DNA accumulation, micronuclei formation, and activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS/STING) pathway, resulting in enhanced modulation of the immune response. NONO-deficient cells showed increased cGAS and STING activation, Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) phosphorylation, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) nuclear localization, and transcription of pro-inflammatory genes such as CC Motif Chemokine Ligand 5 (
