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

The study aims to investigate the clinicopathological significance of MRPL24 in human cancers, with a particular focus on breast cancer (BC). Comprehensive bioinformatics analyses were conducted using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and various advanced database, including cBioPortal, UALCAN, TIMER, Prognoscan, TISIDB, KM Plotter, and The Human Protein Atlas, to provide a detailed evaluation of MRPL55's role in cancer. The findings were further validated through experimental studies. Pan-cancer analysis of TCGA/ICGC data revealed significant amplification of MRPL24 across multiple cancer types, with the highest amplification rate of 60% observed in metastatic breast cancer. MRPL24 was found to be overexpressed in primary breast tumors, metastatic, and various molecular subtypes of breast cancer. High MRPL24 expression was associated with poor prognosis and lower survival rates in breast cancer patients. RT-PCR and western blot confirmed MRPL24 depletion in breast cancer cells. Knockdown of MRPL24 was shown to suppress proliferation, and clonogenic potential in breast cancer cells and inhibit cell migration. Additionally, MRPL24 depletion sensitized breast cancer cells to PD0325901 and 5-FU treatment. Mechanistic studies revealed that MRPL24 knock-down downregulates mRNA levels of oncogenic genes, including c-MYC, BRD4, WNT3, and STAT3. Positive correlations were observed between MRPL24 and key genes involved in ferroptosis regulation, such as ERBB2, ERBB3, GRB2, PIK3CA, AKT1, MAPK3, and MAPK1. Finally, through virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations, we have identified three FDA-approved drugs with strong binding affinities and interactions with MRPL24. These findings underscore MRPL24's oncogenic role in breast cancer and suggest potential therapeutic strategies targeting this protein.
