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

backgroundLNK adaptor protein is a crucial regulator of normal hematopoiesis, which down-regulates activated tyrosine kinases at the cell surface resulting in an antitumor effect. To date, little studies have examined activities of LNK in solid tumors except ovarian cancer.

methodsClinical tissue chips were obtained from 16 clinical patients after surgery. Western blotting assay and quantitative real time PCR was performed to measure the expression of LNK. We investigate the in vivo and vitro effect of LNK in Triple Negative Breast Cancer by using cell proliferation、migration assays and an in vivo murine xenograft model. Western blotting assay was performed to investigate the mechanism of LNK in triple negative breast cancer.

resultsWe found that the levels of LNK expression were elevated in high grade triple-negative breast cancer through Clinical tissue chips. Remarkably, overexpression of LNK can promote breast cancer cell proliferation and migration in vivo and vitro, while silencing of LNK show the opposite phenomenon. We also found that LNK can promote breast cancer cell to proliferate and migrate via activating JAK/STAT3 and ERK1/2 pathway.

conclusionsOur results suggest that the adaptor protein LNK acts as a positive signal transduction modulator in TNBC.
