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 transcription factor Ets-1 regulates the expression of several angiogenic and extracellular matrix remodeling factors, and might be implicated in disease progression of breast cancer. In the present study, the prognostic value of Ets-1 expression was assessed by quantitative real-time fluorescence RT-PCR in 123 sporadic primary breast cancer samples of patients with a median follow-up time of 62 months. Ets-1 expression levels correlated significantly with VEGF and PAI-1 in the same tissue. In univariate (P=0.0011) and multivariate (P=0.005) analyses, Ets-1 expression showed significant prognostic value for relapse-free survival. Ets-1 is a strong, independent predictor of poor prognosis in breast cancer. This seems - at least in part - to be attributable to its role in transcriptional regulation of factors involved in angiogenesis (VEGF), and extracellular matrix remodeling (PAI-1).
