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

Background and Objectives: Circular RNAs play a vital role in developing triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Likewise, the function of circRNAs in TNBC resistance to chemotherapy remains largely unknown. Here, we aimed to investigate whether circPLK1 has a biological efect on anthracycline resistance in TNBC. Methods: We identified circPLK1-a circRNA-using a circRNA microarray in TNBC cells and paired TNBC samples. We assessed the role of circPLK1 in anthracycline resistance in TNBC. Cytotoxicity assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry were performed as functional experiments. Western blot analysis, qRT-PCR, Results: The upregulation of circPLK1 in non-pCR TNBC patients receiving anthracyclines-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy was significantly associated with aggressive characteristics. Colony formation and doxorubicin resistance of TNBC cells were promoted by circPLK1 overexpression but inhibited by circPLK1 knockdown Conclusion: circPLK1 plays a vital role in the resistance of TNBC to anthracycline and is associated with poor prognosis. The inhibition of circPLK1 may be a practical therapeutic approach to modulate anthracycline resistance in TNBC.
