Low prevalence of BRCA1 exon rearrangements in familial and young sporadic breast cancer patients.
Article in Familial cancer, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
BRCA1 exon deletions and duplications have been reported in a number of studies, and in order to design an effective mutation screening strategy in a diagnostic setting it is import to determine the frequency of this type of mutation in breast and ovarian cancer patients. We have designed and applied quantitative fluorescent PCR (QF-PCR) assays to screen for BRCA1 exon rearrangements in breast cancer patients both with and without a family history. A panel of 182 familial patients was screened, and an exon 3-7 deletion mutation was detected in a patient with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer. Additionally, we detected a duplication of exons 18-19 in an early onset sporadic breast cancer patient from a panel of 100 patients tested. These data indicate that in the absence of any founder mutations, screening for BRCA1 exon rearrangements does not significantly increase the overall BRCA1 mutation detection rate in patients referred to a genetics clinic because of either a family history and/or an early onset of disease.
