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 isolation of BRCA1 and BRCA2 has greatly increased our understanding of the genetics of inherited breast and ovarian cancer although the functions of these genes are not yet fully understood. We will discuss the current state of knowledge about the function of BRCA1 and BRCA2 and summarize the cancer risks in women carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. We review the evidence for gene-gene and gene-environment interaction in modifying that risk, and discuss the contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 and other high penetrance genes to both inherited and sporadic breast cancer.
