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 metastasis is the primary cause of patient mortality, yet effective therapeutic targets remain limited. Building on our prior identification of ZWINT as a prognostic marker linked to metastasis, this study defines its critical functional role and regulatory mechanism. Multi-omics analysis revealed a strong association between ZWINT expression and metastatic processes across breast cancer subtypes. Functionally, ZWINT knockdown significantly inhibited breast cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and dramatically reduced lung metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, we discovered that miR-495-3p directly targets and suppresses ZWINT expression, and this miR-495-3p/ZWINT axis acts through inhibiting p38 MAPK pathway activation to suppress metastatic progression in vitro. Our findings demonstrate that ZWINT drives breast cancer metastasis and is negatively regulated by miR-495-3p. The newly identified miR-495-3p/ZWINT/p38 MAPK axis may provide a promising therapeutic target for suppressing breast cancer progression.
