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

Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) is the major apoprotein constituent of high-density lipoprotein that can play important roles in tumor invasion and metastasis. In the current report, we evaluated the role of the functional ApoA1 polymorphisms (-75 G/A and +83 C/T) as genetic markers for breast cancer susceptibility and prognosis. We used the polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme digestion (RFLP-PCR) to characterize the variations of the ApoA1 gene in 295 unrelated Tunisian patients with breast carcinoma and 197 healthy control subjects. No association was found between the +83 C/T genetic variation in ApoA1 gene and the risk of breast cancer occurrence. The presence of the (+83) T allele appeared however to be associated with an increased risk of lymph node metastasis occurrence (OR = 2.94; P = 0.01). Furthermore, a positive association was found between ApoA1 -75 A allele carriers and breast cancer risk (OR = 1.57; P = 0.02). Regarding prognostic indicators, a significant association was found between ApoA1 (-75) A allele carriers and the premenopausal status of breast cancer patients (OR = 1.73; P = 0.03). Additionally, the presence of the -75 A allele was correlated with the oestrogen receptor status among premenopausal women (OR = 2.45; P = 0.02). This is the first report on the studies of ApoA1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in breast carcinomas. Our data suggest that these genetic variations of ApoA1 may represent a marker for the increased risk of breast cancer.
