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

Survivin mRNA expression was detected in 69.2%-93.8% of primary breast carcinomas, but is rarely expressed in normal breast tissues and hematopoietic cells. The objective of this study was to investigate the significance that the detection of Survinin-expressing circulating breast cancer cells in the peripheral blood has on clinical outcomes. The detection method was based on a RT-PCR ELISA technique developed in our laboratory. Sixty-seven breast cancer patients in various stages and 135 normal healthy women were investigated. Survivin-expressing circulating cancer cells were detected in the peripheral blood samples from 34 (50.7%) out of 67 breast cancer patients, but not in the healthy women that were used as controls. The presence of Survivin-expressing circulating breast cancer cells was found to be significantly associated with various clinicopathological parameters such as vessel infiltration, histological grade, tumor size, nodal status, ER/PgR status, Her-2 status and clinical stages of the disease (P < 0.01). During a follow-up period of 36 months, 9 out of 11 (81.8%) breast cancer patients that had a positive Survivin-expressing at the time of the initial assay test suffered a relapse of the disease, whereas recurrence was only found in 2 out of 6 (33.3%) breast cancer patients that had a negative Survivin-expression. Thus, the detection of circulating cancer cells expressing Survivin mRNA could provide valuable information for the prediction of metastasis and recurrence of breast cancer.
