Significance of survivin and Bcl-2 homologous antagonist/killer mRNA in detection of bone metastasis in patients with breast cancer.

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.
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
The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of survivin and Bcl-2 homologous antagonist/killer (Bak) mRNA in the detection of patients with bone metastatic breast cancer. This study included 92 patients with breast carcinoma (54 non-metastatic and 38 bone metastatic) and 31 patients with benign breast lesions. Survivin in cell lysates was measured by ELISA while tissue Bak mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. Survivin was significantly increased in bone metastatic breast cancer patients compared to non-metastatic cases or benign ones. Bak mRNA was markedly decreased in bone metastatic patients compared to non-metastatic ones, while significant expression of Bak mRNA was observed in bone metastatic cases compared to benign patients. High survivin level was associated with high grade, late stages and lymph node involvement, whereas low Bak mRNA was associated with late stages. Our data indicate that survivin and Bak mRNA were considerable markers for the identification of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis.
