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

Background: PMAIP1 (NOXA) is a pro-apoptotic factor that is closely related to cancer development, but its role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is unclear. This study aimed to explore the effect of PMAIP1 on TNBC cell viability, apoptosis, DNA damage, and mitochondrial function. Methods: qRT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the expression level of PMAIP1 in TNBC tissues and cells, and its biological role was evaluated in combination with MTT, TUNEL, comet assay, and mitochondrial function indicators (ROS, ATP, mtDNA, and JC-1). Results: PMAIP1 is significantly upregulated in TNBC and is negatively correlated with cell viability: Overexpression of PMAIP1 inhibits cell viability, while knockdown of PMAIP1 enhances viability. Upregulation of PMAIP1 promotes apoptosis by increasing the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, induces DNA damage, elevates ROS levels, and reduces ATP, mtDNA, and JC-1 levels, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction; conversely, knockdown of PMAIP1 alleviates these changes. Conclusion: PMAIP1 exerts a tumor suppressor effect by regulating apoptosis, DNA damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction, providing potential target support for the treatment of TNBC.
