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

purposeInter-individual variations in treatment efficacy may be influenced by polymorphisms in DNA repair genes. We investigated the association of 3 functional polymorphisms in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway with survival outcome of 95 patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) treated with DNA-damaging chemotherapy.

methodsERCC1 8092 C/A, ERCC2 Asp312Asn and ERCC2 Lys751Gln were determined using Taqman-based genotyping assays. Genotype associations with breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier estimates and hazard ratios calculated using Cox regression analysis. Tests for trend were conducted by calculating P-values for the HR coefficient in proportional hazards regression models.

resultsERCC2 Lys751Gln was significantly associated with BCSS (median: 24.8 months for AA/AC combined and 14.2 months for CC, HR: 1.9 (95% CI 1.06-3.26)). Median BCSS decreased with increasing number of designated adverse genotypes for the 3 polymorphisms (P (trend) = 0.003). Risk estimates for PFS were nonsignificantly elevated and were significantly elevated for BCSS for patients with 2 (HR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.04-4.72) or 3 (HR = 6.67, 95% CI: 2.19-20.29) adverse genotypes. In treatment subgroup analysis, risk estimates for BCSS were significantly elevated for patients with 3 adverse genotypes treated with cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone and vinblastine (HR: 11.9, 95% CI 1.77-79.51) and P (trend) = 0.02 for increasing number of adverse genotypes. Risk of progression was significantly increased for patients with 1 adverse genotype treated with cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone and carboplatin (HR: 3.5, 95% CI 1.19-10.6) and P (trend) = 0.02 for increasing number of adverse genotypes.

conclusionPolymorphisms in NER pathway may impact survival outcome for patients with MBC following treatment with DNA-damaging chemotherapy. These results provide support for a polygenic pathway approach for assessing the prognostic and predictive potential of polymorphisms in treatment outcome.
