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

Previous research has proven that 6-thioguanine (6-TG) inhibits the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding (lnc)RNAs are involved in the development of various cancer types as competitive endogenous (ce)RNA molecules. The present study was conducted to investigate the regulatory mechanism underlying the function of lncRNAs as ceRNA molecules in MCF-7 cells and to identify more effective prognostic biomarkers for breast cancer treatment. The expression profiles of lncRNAs in untreated MCF-7 cells and 6-TG-treated MCF-7 cells were compared by RNA-seq. The regulatory associations among lncRNAs, micro (mi)RNAs and mRNAs were analyzed and verified by the TargetScan, miRDB and miRTarBas databases. The ceRNA networks were constructed by Cytoscape. The expression levels of two lncRNAs and two miRNAs in the ceRNA network were measured by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The OncoLnc and Kaplan-Meier plotter network databases were utilized to determine the effects of lncRNA and miRNA expression on the survival of patients with breast cancer. A ceRNA network was constructed for MCF-7 breast cancer cells treated with 6-TG, and this network may provide valuable information for further research elucidating the molecular mechanism underlying the effects of 6-TG on breast cancer. Moreover, LINC00324, MIR22HG, miR-370-3p and miR-424-5p were identified as potential prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers for breast cancer.
