In one paragraph

Review in Discovery medicine, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The FOXP3 gene was initially identified because its mutation caused lethal autoimmune diseases in mice and humans. Mice with heterozygous mutations of FoxP3 (mouse version of the FOXP3 gene) succumb to mammary tumors spontaneously, while those with prostate-specific deletions develop prostate intraepithelial neoplasia. Somatic mutations, deletion, and epigenetic inactivation of FOXP3 are widespread among human breast and prostate cancers. Unlike autosomal tumor suppressor genes that are usually inactivated by mutations in both alleles, X-linked FOXP3 mutations in cancer samples are usually heterozygous, with the wildtype allele selectively inactivated in cancer. This skewed X-inactivation suggests a new approach to reactivation of FOXP3 for cancer therapy.
