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

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is part of a spectrum of preinvasive lesions that originate within normal breast tissue and progress to invasive breast cancer. The detection of DCIS is important for the reduction of mortality from breast cancer, but the diagnosis of preinvasive breast tumors is hampered by the lack of an adequate detection method. To identify the changes in protein expression during the initial stage of tumorigenesis and to identify the presence of new DCIS markers, we analysed serum from 60 patients with breast cancer and 60 normal controls using mass spectrometry. A 23-protein index was generated that correctly distinguishes the DCIS and control groups with sensitivities and specificities in excess of 80% in two independent cohorts. Two candidate peptides were purified and identified as platelet factor 4 (PF-4) and complement C3a(desArg) anaphylatoxin (C3a(desArg)) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In an independent serum set of 165 patients, PF-4 and C3a(desArg) were significantly upregulated in DCIS compared with non-cancerous controls, as validated using western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We conclude that our serum protein-based test, used in conjunction with image-based screening practices, could improve the sensitivity and specificity of breast cancer detection.
