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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive and heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer. While chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of TNBC treatment, the frequent development of drug resistance often results in unfavorable clinical outcomes. Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) has been implicated in cancer progression and drug resistance, but its specific role and mechanisms in TNBC are poorly understood. This study investigates the impact of YB-1 on TNBC progression and paclitaxel resistance. Tumor and adjacent normal tissues were collected from 10 patients with TNBC to evaluate YB-1 expression. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were assessed using the CCK-8 assay, EdU staining, and flow cytometry, respectively. A xenograft model was employed to monitor tumor growth, while protein levels were analyzed using western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Elevated YB-1 expression was observed in TNBC tissues and cells. Functional assays revealed that YB-1 overexpression enhanced TNBC cell proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, and heightened resistance to paclitaxel in vitro. Conversely, YB-1 suppression yielded the opposite effects. Mechanistically, YB-1 overexpression was associated with enhanced Wnt/β-catenin pathway activity, which functionally contributed to increased paclitaxel resistance. Similar effects were confirmed in vivo, where YB-1 overexpression accelerated tumor growth, increased paclitaxel resistance, and activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, whereas YB-1 suppression reversed these outcomes. In conclusion, YB-1 facilitates TNBC cell proliferation, suppresses apoptosis, and strengthens paclitaxel resistance through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. These findings highlight YB-1 as a promising therapeutic target for TNBC treatment.
