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

Human L35a ribosomal protein (RPL35A) has been reported to confer higher drug resistance and viability to triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, but the mechanism related to its promotion of TNBC malignant progression is still unclear. Here, we found that silencing of RPL35A could inhibit the proliferation of TNBC cells by suppressing the G1/S phase transition. Furthermore, SMAD-specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (Smurf2) was found to be a potential upstream ubiquitin ligase of RPL35A. Smurf2 could interact with RPL35A and promote its degradation and K63-linked polyubiquitination, thereby suppressing the G1/S phase transition and proliferation of TNBC cells. In addition, the roles of Smurf2 were confirmed in a xenograft mouse model. Finally, we found a negative correlation between the protein levels of RPL35A and Smurf2 in human TNBC tissues. In summary, Smurf2 inhibits the proliferation of TNBC cells by blocking the cell cycle process, which is associated with regulating RPL35A.
