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

purposeThe flexible protein GRB2 interacts with HER1-4 on the cell surface and regulates the development of tumor cells; meanwhile, it is also an RBP that plays an important role in post-transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes, which affects every stage of mRNA synthesis, modification, splicing, and stabilization. Although some studies have found a connection between GRB2 and HER2-overexpression breast cancer, highlighting the potential of GRB2 as a novel biomarker that stimulates tumor growth, limited data were available to elaborate on their interaction mechanisms.

methodsIn this research, we found 396 different gene expressions between the Grb2-knockdown group and the SK-BR-3 group by the RNA sequencing approach. After GRB2 was knocked down, 956 alternative splicing events occurred.

resultsThe fRIP-seq results showed that GRB2-binding reads were significantly enriched in the intron region, indicating that UUAGC and UUGGUUGG might be the binding motifs. An integration analysis of DEGs with the peak genes of fRIP-seq revealed that 63 genes possess GRB2 binding sites on their mRNAs or antisense RNAs. By integration analysis of AS events with the peak genes of fRIP-seq, 66 genes related to AS events were found.

conclusionsAbove, these AS events may be regulated by GRB2 to promote the progression of HER2-overexpression breast cancer.
