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

Introduction: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by high malignancy and poor prognosis due to the lack of a clear therapeutic target. The search for therapeutic targets for TNBC has always been a focus of research in the field of human oncology. Existing studies have shown that Epithelial membrane protein 1 (EMP1) is abnormally expressed in a variety of cancers and is closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors. However, the potential role and molecular mechanism of EMP1 in TNBC are still unclear. Methods: In our study, we detected the expression levels of EMP1 in TNBC and analyzed the biological behavior of the TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 after EMP1 expression changes. Results: The results showed that the expression level of EMP1 in TNBC was lower than that in normal tissues, and its expression level was related to T stage, lymph node metastasis, clinical stage and overall survival. In addition, overexpression of EMP1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231, while the proliferation, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells were enhanced after the expression of EMP1 decreased. EMP1 functions through the PI3K-AKT pathway. Discussion: In summary, our findings suggest that EMP1 plays a biological role as a tumor suppressor in TNBC.
