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

Rare germline monoallelic mutations in PALB2 confer a relative risk of breast cancer of 2 to 4-times. To better define the role of PALB2 in breast cancer susceptibility in Italian breast or breast-ovarian cancer families we screened 95 index cases negative for BRCA1/BRCA2 germline mutations. The mutational analysis of the PALB2 gene in a index case of an high risk breast cancer family, has identified a frameshift mutation (c.1517delG) in the exon 4 that leads to the formation of a stop codon, 12 residues downstream of the mutation (Leu451X). The mutation was identified in a woman 52 year old with an infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma and in two of the three sisters without breast cancer. Our results confirmed that PALB2 could be a susceptibility gene for familial breast cancer also in Italian population.
