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

Tamoxifen has been used for the systemic treatment of patients with breast cancer for nearly three decades. Treatment success is primarily dependent on the presence of the estrogen receptor (ER) in the breast carcinoma. While about half of patients with advanced ER-positive disease immediately fail to respond to tamoxifen, in the responding patients the disease ultimately progresses to a resistant phenotype. The possible causes for intrinsic and acquired resistance have been attributed to the pharmacology of tamoxifen, alterations in the structure and function of the ER, the interactions with the tumour environment and genetic alterations in the tumour cells. So far no prominent mechanism leading to resistance has been identified. The recent results of a functional screen for breast cancer antiestrogen resis- tance (BCAR) genes responsible for development of tamoxifen resistance in human breast cancer cells are reviewed. Individual BCAR genes can transform estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells into estrogen-independent and tamoxifen-resistant cells in vitro. Furthermore, high levels of BCAR1/pl30Cas protein in ER-positive primary breast tumours are associated with intrinsic resistance to tamoxifen treatment. These results indicate a prominent role for alternative growth control pathways independent of ER signalling in intrinsic tamoxifen resistance of ER-positive breast carcinomas. Deciphering the differentiation characteristics of normal and malignant breast epithelial cells with respect to proliferation control and regulation of cell death (apoptosis) is essential for understanding therapy response and development of resistance of breast carcinoma.
