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

Centromere protein U (CENPU), a critical component of the kinetochore complex, structurally integrates with spindle microtubules to mediate chromosome segregation during mitosis. However, the association between CENPU expression levels and tumors is largely unknown. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were used to analyze CENPU expression and prognostic value in breast cancer tissues. CENPU overexpressing/knockdown cell lines were constructed for 4D‑data‑independent acquisition quantitative proteomics and enrichment analyses. Functional assays, including flow cytometry, mammosphere formation, wound healing and Transwell assay, were used to assess the effects of CENPU on breast cancer stemness, migration and invasion. The associations among CENPU, nerve growth factor (NGF), proNGF and furin were also explored through western blotting, co‑immunoprecipitation and ELISA experiments. Finally, xenograft mouse models were established to verify the
