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

Two subgroups of invasive breast carcinomas have been identified with a poor prognosis in different patient cohorts: the basal-like category and the subgroup containing proteins capable of inducing metastasis in experimental rodents, the metastasis-inducing proteins (MIPs). Here we identify by immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratin CK5/6 or CK14 the basal-like subgroup in a set of 297 primary invasive breast carcinomas in which the staining profile for the MIPs S100A4, osteopontin, anterior gradient-2, and S100P has already been established. Monoclonal antibodies to CK5/6 or CK14 specifically stain 31% to 34% of the primary carcinomas. These positively stained tumors are highly significantly associated with premature death of the patient (Wilcoxon statistics, P < 0.0001), the increased relative risk being approximately 5.6-fold. Positive staining for either cytokeratin is very significantly associated with that for each of the four MIPs separately and with loss of staining for the Fanconi anemia protein FANCD2 (corrected Fisher's exact test, P < 0.0007). There is no significant correlation with the remaining tumor variables tested, including staining for the estrogen receptor α, progesterone receptor, and c-erbB-2. These results show that the basal cytokeratin-like carcinomas contain many of the MIPs and that these may arise by their selection for tumors with an inherent deficiency in the FANC/BRCA pathway of DNA repair.
