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

Landmark discoveries in the field of breast cancer research include the identification of germline BRCA mutations as a cause of hereditary disease, and the use of gene-expression profiling to identify distinct subtypes of breast cancer. These findings, coupled with the availability of rapid germline testing, make it possible to identify a BRCA mutation carrier contemporaneous with a diagnosis of breast cancer. For the first time, testing for a germline mutation that predisposes to cancer has the potential to influence the immediate surgical, radiotherapeutic, and drug treatment choices of an individual with a new diagnosis of breast cancer. In this Review, we examine the implications of moving germline BRCA mutation testing from highly specialized family cancer clinics to mainstream settings.
