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

objectivesTo investigate the effect of downregulation of medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (ACADM) on invasion and migration of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells and the underlying mechanism.

methodsThe Kaplan-Meier Plotter database was used to analyze the ACADM expression levels in breast cancer and normal tissues and their association with patient prognosis. Human breast cancer MCF-7 and T47D cell lines with lentivirus-mediated ACADM knockdown were established, and their in situ tumor formation and metastasis after tail vein injection were evaluated in nude mice. The MCF-7 and T47D cells with ACADM knockdown and their unmodified parental cells were examined with oil-red O staining assay, ROS assay, mitochondrial respiratory chain function assay before and after treatments with ROS scavenger, Elamipretide (a cardiolipin oxidation inhibitor) or SC79 (an AKT activator), and the changes in migration and invasion abilities of the treated cells were analyzed with Transwell invasion assay and Boyden chamber assay. Western blotting was used to detect protein expression levels of related signaling pathways in the treated cells.

resultsACADM overexpression was associated with a significantly shorter overall survival of breast cancer patients. In MCF-7 and T47D cells, ACADM knockdown resulted in downregulation of N calnexin, vimentin, p-P13K and p-AKT proteins, increased levels of free fatty acids and reactive oxygen species, lowered activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III and V, and reduced mitochondrial inner phospholipids. ACADM knockdown significantly decreased the invasive capacity of the cells, which were obviously reversed by treatment with ROS scavenger, Elamipretide, and SC79.

conclusionsDown-regulation of ACADM inhibits migration and invasion ability of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells by lowering lipotoxicity and impairing mitochondrial function through the ROS/PI3K/AKT pathway.
