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

G protein subunit beta 2 (GNB2) is a potential biomarker identified recently in human cancers. However, the specific role and its underlying mechanism in breast cancer (BRCA) remain unclear. Expression levels of GNB2 were examined in human BRCA tissues and cells by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot. Biological functions of GNB2 were determined by a series of in vitro experiments (CCK-8, colony formation assay, Transwell and wound healing) and in vivo ones (subcutaneous transplantation tumor and pulmonary metastasis model). Mechanism of GNB2 in BRCA was explored by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), qPCR, Western blot, flow cytometry and some rescue experiments. Increased expression of GNB2 was found in BRCA, which indicated poorer clinical prognosis of the patients. The over-expression of GNB2 increased proliferation, migration of BRCA cells, while it decreased the intracellular contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS), Fe
