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

About 70% of breast cancer patients are oestrogen receptor-positive (ER +ve). Adjuvant endocrine therapy using tamoxifen (TAM) is an effective approach for preventing local recurrence and metastasis. However, around half of the patients will eventually develop resistance. Overexpression of BQ323636.1 (BQ) is one of the mechanisms that confer TAM resistance. BQ is an alternative splice variant of NCOR2. The inclusion of exon 11 generates mRNA for NCOR2, while the exclusion of exon 11 produces mRNA for BQ. The expression of SRSF5 is low in TAM-resistant breast cancer cells. Modulation of SRSF5 can affect the alternative splicing of NCOR2 to produce BQ. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that the knockdown of SRSF5 enhanced BQ expression, and conferred TAM resistance; in contrast, SRSF5 overexpression reduced BQ expression and, thus, reversed TAM resistance. Clinical investigation using a tissue microarray confirmed the inverse correlation of SRSF5 and BQ. Low SRSF5 expression was associated with TAM resistance, local recurrence and metastasis. Survival analyses showed that low SRSF5 expression was associated with poorer prognosis. We showed that SRPK1 can interact with SRSF5 to phosphorylate it. Inhibition of SRPK1 by a small inhibitor, SRPKIN-1, suppressed the phosphorylation of SRSF5. This enhanced the proportion of SRSF5 interacting with exon 11 of NCOR2, reducing the production of BQ mRNA. As expected, SRPKIN-1 reduced TAM resistance. Our study confirms that SRSF5 is essential for BQ expression. Modulating the activity of SRSF5 in ER +ve breast cancer will be a potential approach to combating TAM resistance.
