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

Prostate-derived Ets transcription factor (PDEF) has recently been associated with invasive breast cancer, but no expression profile has been defined in clinical specimens. We undertook a comprehensive PDEF transcriptional expression study of 86 breast cancer clinical specimens, several cell lines, and normal tissues. PDEF expression profile was analyzed according to standard clinicopathologic parameters and compared with hormonal receptor and HER-2/neu status and to the expression of the new tumor biomarker Dikkopf-1 (DKK1). Wide ranging PDEF overexpression was observed in 74% of tested tumors, at higher levels than the average expression found in normal breasts. High PDEF expression was associated with hormone receptor positivity (P < .001), moderate to good differentiation (less than grade III, P = .01), and dissemination to axillary lymph nodes (P = .002). PDEF was an independent risk factor for nodal involvement (multivariate analysis, odds ratio 1.250, P = .002). It was expressed in a different subgroup compared to DKK1-expressing tumors (P < .001). Our data imply that PDEF mRNA expression could be useful in breast cancer molecular staging. Further insights into PDEF functions at the protein level, and possible links with hormone receptors biology, bear great potential for new therapeutic avenues.
