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

backgroundInsulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), a cytoplasmic protein transmitting signals from the insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptors, has been implicated in breast cancer. Previously, it was reported that IRS-1 can be translocated to the nucleus and modulate oestrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) activity in vitro. However, the expression of nuclear IRS-1 in breast cancer biopsy specimens has never been examined.

aimsTo assess whether nuclear IRS-1 is present in breast cancer and non-cancer mammary epithelium, and whether it correlates with other markers, especially ERalpha. Parallel studies were carried out for the expression of cytoplasmatic IRS-1.

methodsIRS-1 and ERalpha expression was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis. Data were evaluated using Pearson's correlation, linear regression and receiver operating characteristic analysis.

resultsMedian nuclear IRS-1 expression was found to be low in normal mammary epithelial cells (1.6%) and high in benign tumours (20.5%), ductal grade 2 carcinoma (11.0%) and lobular carcinoma (approximately 30%). Median ERalpha expression in normal epithelium, benign tumours, ductal cancer grade 2 and 3, and lobular cancer grade 2 and 3 were 10.5, 20.5, 65.0, 0.0, 80 and 15%, respectively. Nuclear IRS-1 and ERalpha positively correlated in ductal cancer (p<0.001) and benign tumours (p<0.01), but were not associated in lobular cancer and normal mammary epithelium. In ductal carcinoma, both nuclear IRS-1 and ERalpha negatively correlated with tumour grade, size, mitotic index and lymph node involvement. Cytoplasmic IRS-1 was expressed in all specimens and positively correlated with ERalpha in ductal cancer.

conclusionsA positive association between nuclear IRS-1 and ERalpha is a characteristic for ductal breast cancer and marks a more differentiated, non-metastatic phenotype.
