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

Heat shock protein (Hsp)-peptide complexes purified from tumors can prime the immune system against tumor antigens, but how they contribute to the generation of immune responses against naturally occurring tumors is unknown. Murine tumors expressing high amounts of Hsp70 are preferentially rejected by the immune system, suggesting that low Hsp70 expression is advantageous for tumor growth in the host. To determine whether Hsp70 was differentially expressed in human tumors, inducible Hsp70 expression was quantitatively (by Western blot) and qualitatively (by immunohistology) analyzed in 53 biopsies of tumor and normal breast tissue. The mean expression of inducible Hsp70 was significantly higher in tumor compared with normal tissue (U = 899.0; P = 0.0033). However, a significant negative association of the amount of Hsp70 expressed by tumor tissue was found with metastasis (r = -0.309; P = 0.05). After 3 years, follow-up analysis determined that 7 of the 53 patients relapsed, and 5 died. Hsp70 expression in tumor (but not normal) cells was significantly lower in relapse patients and patients with metastatic disease than in patients with no relapse or metastasis. Together, these observations support the hypothesis that Hsp70 plays a role in tumor expansion in vivo, and tumors that downregulate it may be able to evade immunosurveillance and grow.
