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

Inhibitor of growth 4 (ING4) is a candidate tumor suppressor gene that was shown to be deleted in 10% to 20% of breast cancers by array comparative genome hybridization analysis. We developed fluorescent in situ hybridization to detect the ING4 gene directly in the tissue samples on tumor tissue microarrays. We evaluated the ING4 gene status in 1033 breast cancer tissue samples and observed that ING4 was deleted in 16.5% (170/1033) of all breast cancers. ING4 deletion was significantly associated with Her2 overexpression: of the tumors with ING4 deletion, 23.8% (39/164) were human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) positive, as compared with 14.1% (115/814) of the tumors without ING4 deletion (P = .002). In addition, the tumors with ING4 deletion were more likely to belong to the HER2 molecular subtype (estrogen receptor negative/progesterone receptor negative/human epidermal growth factor positive) of breast cancer, compared with the other subtypes (28.4% HER2 versus 15.7% all, P = .002). ING4 deletion did not affect survival outcome of all patients with breast cancer (P = .797) or of the patients with HER2-positive tumors (P = .792). We conclude that ING4 deletion in breast cancer is relatively common, as 1 in 6 breast cancer harbors ING4 deletion. Furthermore, ING4 deletion is more prevalent in HER2-positive tumors, suggesting a functional antagonistic relationship between the ING4 tumor suppressor and the HER2 oncogene. These results sustain the view that ING4 is a tumor suppressor in breast cancer and suggest that ING4 deletion may contribute to the pathogenesis of HER2-positive breast cancer.
