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 BH3-like motif-containing inducer of cell death (BLID) is an intronless gene localized on 11q24.1. Loss of that region has frequently been reported in early-onset breast cancer and is significantly associated with poor prognosis and reduced survival. Downregulation of BLID is associated with younger age, triple-negative phenotype, and reduced disease-free and overall survival of breast cancer patients. In this study, we investigated allelic loss of BLID in breast tumor specimens from 78 women with invasive breast cancer using 2 dinucleotide polymorphic markers closely linked to the BLID gene (no intragenic marker for BLID is available). Seventy-three cases were informative. Overall, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the BLID locus was detected in 32% of the informative cases (23/73). However, in patients 40 years old and younger, LOH was detected in 50% of the cases (9/18). Patients aged 40 years and younger were significantly more likely to experience LOH than those aged 41-55 years (p = 0.04). Specifically, the odds of BLID loss for patients aged 40 years and younger were 3.7 times the odds of loss for patients aged 41-55 years (95% CI, 1.1-13). Our findings suggest a tumor suppressor role of the BLID gene in early-onset breast cancer.
