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

backgroundAdenosine triphosphatase H+ transporting accessory protein 2 (ATP6AP2), also known as (pro)renin receptor, is implicated in tumorigenesis and the progression of several types of cancer. This study investigated the role of ATP6AP2 in breast cancer.

methodsUALCAN and ONCOMINE datasets were utilized to compare transcript levels of ATP6AP2 in breast cancer and normal tissues. GOBO datasets were applied to examine ATP6AP2 expression in different breast cancer cell lines. We used the cBioPortal website to explore the gene alterations and copy number alterations of ATP6AP2 in breast cancer. Cell Counting Kit-8 and transwell assays were conducted to evaluate ATP6AP2 function in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Finally, we used the cBioPortal website to establish the interaction network of ATP6AP2 in breast cancer and performed functional enrichment analysis based on Gene Ontology terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways.

resultsATP6AP2 was overexpressed in breast cancer tissues and breast cancer cell lines in the UALCAN, ONCOMINE, and GOBO datasets. The major type of ATP6AP2 alteration was mRNA upregulation. Moreover, ATP6AP2 was most highly expressed in luminal type breast cancer. Finally, ATP6AP2 knockdown reduced MCF-7 cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Functional enrichment analysis suggested that ATP6AP2 regulates several cancer-related pathways, especially the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

conclusionApplying multi-dimensional analytical methods, we demonstrate that ATP6AP2 is upregulated in breast cancer and may promote its development and progression.
