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

Recently, cyclin-E was reported to be the most prominent prognostic factor for breast cancer outcome described so far, even surpassing axillary nodal involvement. Earlier studies on the prognostic value of cyclin-E in breast cancer, however, yielded heterogeneous results. Therefore, we set out to confirm and extend these results by quantitative Taqman RT-PCR of cyclin-E levels in 277 resectable breast cancers. Cyclin-E levels were not associated with relapse-free survival (RFS) or overall survival (OS) in the total cohort of patients, or in the subset of patients without involved lymph nodes that were not treated with adjuvant systemic therapy. Besides several classical clinicopathological factors, the interaction between cyclin-E and adjuvant endocrine therapy (P=0.01, HR=3.04, 95% CI: 1.30-7.09) was found to contribute significantly in multivariate analyses. Cyclin-E levels were associated with poor RFS specifically in patients treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy (n=108, P=0.001, HR=4.01, 95% CI: 1.76-9.12), independent of estrogen receptor status. In conclusion, cyclin-E is not a pure prognostic factor in breast cancer, but rather a predictor of failure of endocrine therapy. Differences in literature on the presumed prognostic value of cyclin-E may be due to differences in treatment. Assessment of cyclin-E levels can aid in improving adjuvant treatment selection.
