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

ERBB2 is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor encoded by a gene located in chromosome region 17q12. Overexpression of ERBB2, generally by way of gene amplification, plays a role in mammary oncogenesis. This alteration can be overcome by use of the humanized monoclonal antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin). Accurate determination of ERBB2 status is required for appropriate use of this targeted therapy and is currently analysed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tissue sections and/or fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) on interphase chromosomes. We have studied the gene expression profiles of a series of 213 breast tumours and 16 breast cancer cell lines with known ERBB2 status, using Ipsogen's DiscoveryChip microarrays with approximately 9000 cDNAs. We have identified 36 genes and expressed sequence tags that were differentially expressed in tumours and in cell lines with and without ERBB2 protein overexpression. This ERBB2-specific gene expression signature (GES) contained 29 overexpressed genes including the ERBB2 gene itself, five genes located in its immediate vicinity on 17q12, non-17q genes such as GATA4 and eight downregulated genes including oestrogen receptor alpha (ER). Some correlations were validated at the protein level using IHC on tissue microarrays. The GES was able to distinguish ERBB2-negative and -positive cancer samples, as well as FISH-negative and FISH-positive ERBB2 2+ IHC samples.
